Creative writing Yonder Flash Fiction Analysis: Never Saw a Goddess Go (pg 89) I really like how Rodger Kamenetz chose to use second person point of view in this flash fiction because it makes it feel more personal and intimate between the author and reader. He cements this by ending the piece with “Luckily I bumped into you.” The narrator is speaking to the reader about things that the reader doesn’t yet know about themself, so ending it with that closing line is a nice way of giving the piece purpose. Also, the imaginative concepts that the author uses are very engaging. For example, “Not every touch is gravity but you fall according to your own laws,” is a very creative way of expressing that the reader is unique, and Kamenetz repeats this trick throughout the piece. Furthermore, the author uses personification very creatively to continue expressing how special the reader is. For example, he writes, “Brick would hug your toe not stub, the walls kiss your silent arm to speech, the floor rise and fall with your breath and clouds envelope you,” which is full of varying personification and concrete particulars. While Kamenetz does utilize concrete particulars in this piece, he confines them to vision and touch. Therefore, I think it’d be nice if he explored smell, taste, and hearing in this flash fiction. Overall, I thought it was an excellent, cerebral, imagery filled piece that really engaged me.
