I have read the 1 more about introduction
and 2 chapter...where the story really start... I can't tell yet where the funny tale is...I was bit lost at the first read...the tittle is IMAGINE...so that mean you are looking something like INCEPTION... LIFE BEFORE HER EYES but more funny...
I have scored you 4 for now...i can always change it when I finish to read all of it...and of course with more feedback on the story...

Dmytro,

I've just read your short story 'Imagine...' This is a great piece of creative writing, a hugely entertaining and inventive read that brought a smile to my face, and put me in mind of Gogol. Inanimate objects with the ability to speak is a great premise for a story (and one that isn't a million miles out of the realms of possibility these days - something you perhaps had in mind when writing the story?), and one you explore in such a playful and engaging way, I think it would appeal to a broad range of readers. I especially liked the talking wallet 'hey, there's 30 bucks in me', and the talking scales, too.

On a technical front, your prose is very smooth and polished. I made a note of a couple of minor things you might want to look at. In the opening sentence, I felt 'vast' may work better than 'far distances.' A little further along, 'would react on it by saying' I felt the 'on it' could be cut from here. The mirror scene, 'repeat what you just said...' instead of 'repeat again what you said.' A little later on, I think you're missing a 'mad' in the sentence 'driving the person (mad) with...'

That said, a great piece of writing, one I'm sure you could get published in a magainze or periodical.

Happy to give you a long run on my shelf, and hope to dip back in for some more soon.

Kind regards

NA 'The Holy Drinker'

Wow, am honored I had a chance to laugh first! I think this is a very lovely, humour-filled book. Just finished chapter one and I think you got something quite lovely here!With all honesty if you polish the language abit!
First check the open and closed inverted commas! They need an edit.
In the same chapter- And you wouldn't have to spend five minutes (TO) looking for the sports score.To Must go!lol
Egoists would be (NOT) fond of talking object-Egoists would not be fond of talking objects! Am probably the worst of all in proof reading but this will go a long way!
Will turn to chapter two now!
