"Life" Sara

Life Sara, First off, I like the way in which you experimented with playing cards, which also correlates to your story in many ways. I connected the playing cards and the title of the story with the saying “this was the hand I was dealt” when referring to life. I like that the story itself refers to games such as Monopoly, Gold Fish, UNO, and Mao—metaphorically saying the life is somewhat of a game and its outcome is unpredictable. I’m not sure if it was purposely done for the story to be on the side of the card that would be facing your opponent, makes me wonder who the reader/audience is supposed to be. I like this idea and I think it can defiantly develop into a number of stories centered around a game—maybe a board game or even a puzzle of some sort.
