    This is a really well developed and creative idea on the self portrait assignment. When I originally saw that you only had a video I was expecting something, well less than stellar. By the time the 2nd line of the ascii art was displayed was when my original thought changed. Your flash fiction blends beautifully with the aesthetic of a computer in a more primitive state, one without some UI, just a slightly greenish tinted screen with a blocky green text indicator being the only thing visible. Additionally the flash fiction tells the story of a man hidden behind a screen, alone, with no one. This is strengthened by your note pad use by bringing to the idea of a loner, someone who usually studies code and coding

    It was very creative to use a vbscript cause its not hard and If I remember correctly you had around 300-400 lines maybe more. Your Flash Fiction is great because I can completely relate because experiences I had when I was younger has made me a better man.

    Wow, this is new. I’ve not seen anyone else write a self-writing script to tell your story. The Flash Fiction and image work together very well, and its tied together with the artist statement nicely. I love the last line in your TS/IS where you say, ““The story’s yours, go write it.” You are your story, write yourself.”

    First of all, props on a very creative project. Second, I really enjoy the quote in your flash fiction, "His past relationships have made him both a better and broken man". I feel strongly about the fact that the people in your life change you for the better or the worse.

Regret

You should’ve tried out for the musical, or perhaps even show choir. That’s something you can never go back on. Singing has always been one of your favorite things to do. You should’ve taken more art classes when they were free of charge in high school to find other ways to express yourself. You’ve always wanted to get better at drawing, you know. You should’ve re-joined AYSO, or some other soccer group. You know that soccer was your passion; while club soccer got to be too much and wasn’t your cup of tea, you know AYSO was where you belonged. You should’ve worked harder your junior year. Last year really tanked your GPA and you might not get the salutatorian spot that you’re so close to. You should’ve joined The Plain Brown Wrapper your freshman year and you would’ve had five years of language arts. Even though people tell you those things don’t matter, you know its a failure on your part to fall short on something you very easily could’ve achieved. You knew that these things w...

Overwhelmed

Mikayla Quade Flash Fiction You don’t think your ready to move out or grow up. You finally realize just how difficult life is actually going to be. You think you’ve been living in a perfect world, WAKE UP, it’s just a dream. Now your kind of scared thinking about college and what your next steps going to be. You know in your mind that your current friends might not be the best influence on you. Your very stressed out and wish you could stay a teen forever, never having to grow up. It would be so cool if N ever-Land actually existed because then you wouldn’t have to grow up. But then you realize that’s just wishful thinking. You know you need to start acting your age. Sometimes you wish you could trade places with your younger sister. Her life seems so much easier. You don’t know what you want to be or what you want to do with your life. She already has pretty much everything planned out. She also has better grades than you so you feel stupid sometimes. In gen...

Five Minutes

Flash Fiction: You pushed her too far; no, it was her own decisions. You were too much; she just didn’t know what to do. Your mother is supposed to love you unconditionally; protect you; support you; be there for you. She didn’t do that for you; she walked away, not you. You needed guidance but only got a door in your face. You have five minutes, get out. You needed her. Did she need you? Are you still being selfish? Were you even selfish in the first place? The mind games ache and haunt. Artist Statement: In my self-portrait I decided to have myself behind a glass door; particularly the front door to a house. I did this to represent the part of my flash fiction in which i say, “You needed guidance but only got a door in your face.” I wanted to represent the moment I had to leave my mother’s home. This image gives a little insight into the realities of what happened the day i got kicked out, which is also represented in my flash fiction piece. I used a sad, painful and hurt ...
