Thank you so much.
Comment from Judy Couch
I loved your use of the dialect of the person speaking. The story was well written and easy to follow. There is nothing that I would have wanted to be different.

Loved this story!!!! The vernacular you've used is perfect. I am currently "reading" a book on CD called "Forevermore" that is done in similar style. We have a vernacular all our own here in southern Ohio and also use a plentiful amont of idioms.
Best wishes for the contest entry!!! Most excellent writing.
Blessings to you!

That you so much for the terrific review and high rating.
Comment from Schalk Jacobs
Well done on nailing the prompt to a tee. Also liked the vernacular as it created more depth to the character, especially the narrator, which is exactly what you want to achieve with a one person narration.
There was no spelling errors that I could detect, but that is part of writing in the vernacular.
Wishing you the best of luck in the contest.

This well written story seems so real, like a child talking directly to you telling of his experience of the storm with Gramps. Great line relating this story to Auntie Em in The Wizard of Oz -->I heard blew Emma and Ben Gale's house over the rainbow. Good luck in the contest.

Five stars for a pleasing recollection of an exciting day in the life of a youngster. I trust you have done the style and vernacular expertly - I can't quite locate it. I'm aware that some manual labor was required on the keyboard to bring the story to life. Country folks are special, wherever. Well done.

I love the old fashioned language. I love the way the story is about life in the back woods.The boy was not scared. I think his Grandpa had a lot to do with that. Great work.

This is such a great story, I enjoyed the way you wrote in the local dialect in that region, it made it far more interesting. You used the words well and created a great story. Good luck in the contest. xsx Sandra

excellent descriptive detail
you create an atmosphere of impending danger well
