Hi, Sara. Your blog is the first stop of the day. I liked your short story. Great job!
Thanks, Susanne! 🙂
I think you’ve definitely pulled off that voice, this story had me right there alongside the main character. A great tale for Halloween 🙂
Woo! Thanks, Laura! 🙂
Great story!
Thanks, Dee! 🙂
I’ve always been scared of the woods, and you’ve given me another reason to be.
Her breath smelled of “old meat” – that was the turning point for me. I love the smooth progression, from spotting a simple beauty and then transforming it into a frightful darkness.
Don’t be afraid of the woods! Just don’t go wandering after strange lights in the dark. 😉 Thanks, Tanya! 🙂
Oh, I loved it! Such a fantastic voice in this piece. Seriously. What a great story. Had me from the beginning. I love the idea you took with ‘catching your death’.
Fabulous!
Yay! Thanks, Katie! It makes me very glad to think I might have actually pulled it off. 🙂
Wonderful imagery, Sara!
Thanks, Missy! 😀
I really enjoyed this. I especially loved the “catch a death” idea – made me smile.
Thanks, LC! 🙂
