[Serendipity]

Thanks for the review, Victoria.

This is the first time I've entered the challenge, so am particularly pleased.

Thanks Victoria, although on re-reading mine some of the spaces have gone walkabout, will have to double check in future.

[Juliana]

Took me a while to come up with something this time. This one's for Parson...

 

[Parson]

1 Corinthians 13 as a war chapter?! --- Well done, Julianna.

 

[Juliana]

Thought you might appreciate that...

Victoria, I love your story.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

ratsy -- The author shows us events through the eyes of a child, allowing us to realize that what may seem trivial to us may be vital to another.

Juliana -- This bittersweet tale manages the difficult task of combining a gentle touch with dark irony.

 

[Bowler1]

A bit late, but thank you for the review Victoria.

 

[JonH]

For the record, I liked your 75 worder, and I also love your avatar!

Thank you. Your avatar makes me grin when I see it. It's something to do with the eyes.

 

[Juliana]

Thank you, Victoria. You always make me sound so fancy! Love 'bittersweet'.

P.S. Sorry for the editing error at the beginning.

Moved this out of the submissions thread

Ashleyne. B. Watts -- This classic horror story of alien possession adds an unexpectedly tender touch of emotion.

Thanks for the review Victoria

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Very nice first story, Ashleyne!! CC

martin321 -- The informal style of the narrator serves to strengthen the power of this chilling story.

Thanks for the review. It is spot on. In editing I tried toning down the narrator's voice, and the story turned to mush. So I had to put all the quirky language back in.

Just noticed that cornelius and I have the same title for our entries. Oops! Sorry, cornelius.

 

[Ashleyne]

Victoria and CC, thanks for the wonderful reviews.

For the longest of times I did not know whether I would be entering this month. A number of different factors seemed to be determined to get in the way, the least of which was that I did not have a remote idea from which to work.

Then this sprang into my drug-addled head.

Three drafts and a lot of butchered words later I've got something that I'm really rather proud of for once. It makes perfect sense to me...

There are a number of 'easter eggs' squirrelled away...
