I find this chapter very interesting and intriguing. It is full of mystery which genre I love. Unfortunately, I have missed the earlier chapters. I'm just one week old on this site. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your supportive review. Do you know how to get to read other writing of members? If not, I can guide you. I had a friend help me & much I figured out be trial & error. Because if you get to my portfolio, you can read my previous chapters. There is no need for writing a review. Just enjoy it And welcome. I will help you with any questions.

What an interesting chapter. I hadn't heard of that particular hallucinogen, though I'm familiar with Peyote.
Over the course of reading your chapter, I found several things you might want to consider:
We've had been given the black drink! [We've had been given? It doesn't feel right. I believe it's "We'd been given."]
on the side rearview mirror, [I believe it's called simply the sideview mirror.]
She even got Liz to believe [Is she talking, or thinking, about herself? This whole sentence is confusing me.]
Where the angels when I was being disappeared? [Where WERE? the angels ...]
Thank you for sharing your fiction with us.

Ok so this dream with the angels in it, was it to motivate those two to keep going. Does sound like they needed the pick me up given their situation.

Thank you for your interested review. Yes, plus they finally were silent and had no one around to help but themselves. They both have spent their lifetimes helping others, coming up short on self-care. And yest if you read any of the first 13 chapters, there they are again helping others, but learning something from it.

Well done Liz. I really enjoyed reading about the different side effects of the Black Drink between Liz and Linda. It is not surprising that they should differ. It was a very informative chapter for those not of the people.

I like that even though these two friends are very similar, their reaction to the black drink - in the manner of how each drank it and the dreams that each had are so very different. Seems like Aandeg makes a very good psychologist. Wonder how these dreams will affect their future decisions.

Wow! I never knew some of the ways of the Native American tribes... you've not only entertained, Liz, but educated us all a bit! ;) Great chapter and good luck with the next! ;)

That would be horrid being covered in birds the way she was. Thankfully, it was just a nightmare. It sounds like the drink did good for Linda, gave her what she needed. Your chapter is well-written, very interesting. I look forward to reading more.

Hi Liz. Thanks for the assist with the font.
You have a knack for the unusual in storytelling. Some good images throughout, like here:"I know my nerves are connected to my brain because I can feel pain. I would grade it as a 10 on the numeric pain scale, 10 being the highest. And the face pain-chart should have a grimace because that was what I am doing.She stretched her arms, legs, and torso to get some blood flowing back into her lifeless limbs, ribs, and spine."
"Suggestions if I may: Strunk and White's little book on punctuation tells us that although "he said" "she said" may sound trite at times it is still the best tag by far,
So when you use tags like this, " Liz offered" and this, "reminded Linda" they prove to be distractions instead of flowing the writing
Also: Tight writing is always best. By this I mean cut out any words not needed like here: ""Okay, good." Liz returned to her seat behind the steering wheel." (cut steering)
Keep at it Liz. Bob

Very nice. This was an enjoyable read. The story line is interesting and it progresses at a good, not rushed pace. The dialogue is real. Your chapter easily kept my interest.

Comment from Fonda Little
My favorite part was, "Opening the door, she noticed a murder of crows beginning to gather around the car, covering the hood.", because I didn't know a group of crows was called a murder until I read this so thank you I learned something new today because of this!
The Lord led me to this verse after I read this,
2 Corinthians 5:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Thank you for your involved review. The quote indeed embraces the action going on, just from a difference means, more related to Native myth. I had to look up "what are a group of crows called. It's perfect for the situation too. Isn't it.
