Oh dear! Bet we all know what THAT "surprise" is!
I love the smooth flowing syntax of your writing. You have a natural, eloquent rhythm that made me feel as if I were listening to a lovely song. I'll look forward to seeing The Big Reveal to know which talented writer penned such an excellent contest entry. Good luck at the polls. xo

Comment from Julie Helms
Very funny and I can totally relate! After I read this I had to share a story with you... Both my husband and I have Scottish ancestry which has been traced back. Mine actually goes back to 1000 A.D., because there is a well-known person in my line. My ancestors were Vikings that conquered Ireland and became a line of kings in Dublin, eventually going to Scotland. My husband comes from the Fraser clan, which is of French origin and the word means 'strawberry' in French. So at family gettogethers we make great hay out of my Viking conquering kings versus his French strawberries! Good luck with the contest and happy new year!

Ha ha, that's great. At least your story ended better than mine. Thanks for the review.

The accompanying picture completes the scene naturally, and the story told though brief is a well-written short story. Well done, though I wish you would voluntarily expand and tell us as Paul Harvey would say, "the rest of the story.'

Thanks for the review. I'd love to expand it, but it's hard with only 80 words. Cheers.

I know, but I am suggesting to do a second story ala carte

No worries. I see a little bit of family conflict in their future...

Good luck

Oh dear! Can I assume that the Scandinavian heritage was absent? This sets up a whole list of tricky questions. This could be an interesting topic to unpack for us in future posts.

I liked how you used the wording, communal rolling of the eyes. That's neat having the Vikings for descendants. What a surprise. That doesn't sound good. Very good job
