Optimism101

It's... blood boiling. I swear to god if I get my hands on that son of a bi-... Nope, gotta keep it PG. Still. It's a nice story. I think it could be polished a bit, but it's very close to perfect. Keep writing! We will keep reading!

Nothing seems too rushed. It works nicely. I can't wait for the next part. Soooo many questions! I'm sure all will be answered in good time. Keep writing!

I liked this one. More questions, of course, but that's one of the benefits of short stories. A good part. Keep writing! Oh, if you need a girl name, I always liked Jessie.

I like it. It's... interesting. I have quite a few questions about the characters, all of which I'm sure to figure out from the story or what I can piece together. Either way, you've set up a pretty good dystopian (I think) society where you have the upper and lower class separated completely. I'll be waiting for the next bit. Keep writing! Because people will keep reading.

I get that. It's like a way to cover up your feelings without anyone knowing that's how you feel. Or it could be used to make an offensive joke. Either way.

It's really good! If you want to try and make it better, I reccomend adding more descriptions, to help me picture. Maybe more details about the lake, or him.

It doesn't particularly strike out as hard as I think you were going for. However, I know at least two people it's going to hit hard to. And even if it didn't strike me, I could still feel it's emotion.
