A fascinating story. Who would have thought a "kidnapping" would have been a favour. Your script was very well written. It was very easy to follow. I enjoyed it very much. The details were clear and concise. It was all very easy to envision while reading along.

Your story is well told. I liked the way that the voice of 'older' Michael filled us in on what happened. This was certainly a change in your life. Thank you for sharing this,

Well done, Mikey. This is fascinating and so well told. I like the way you fade the characters out and back in again, from the little child Michael to the older person Michael. It gives great perspective to the story, I thought, Giddy

    Hi, Giddy
    I best answer something and let you know I DO read your wonderful reviews and they delight me. WOW. I'm over the moon with this one. I LOVE your plays so this is a big confidence boost. It sure is a different form of writing, yes.
    Thanks so much, mikey

So mikey that's where your very creative thinking comes from, it began with your strange reactions as a little tacker to be called a girl. Loved reading about your start in life. It's really amazing, my life seems so ordinary compared to some.
Thanks for your thoughts too, Cyclone Debbie slipped south of us and is now battering the coast down there.
cheers,
valda

    I suppose that was a bit odd of me. LOL
    I think whatever out life happens to be it all seems normal to us. I look back on things now and I realize it's all a bit strange. At the time it was all I knew as life, so it was normal life to me.
    So pleased you survived unscathed. It sounded like quite the scare!
    Thanks so much, mikey

Terrific script, Mav. You have such a natural narrative voicing that makes all your writes seem intimate, as if we are right there inside your imagination and staring through your eyes.

An excellent script form, as it's easy to picture the movement.

Exceptional work as always.

    Wow, Ange, that is a great part of what I am hoping to hear. I think I can work on formatting and getting used to directions and all that if I feel like the voicing and characterization is coming across fairly well. You are so encouraging and sweet as can be. I believe I will continue to struggle along. Thanks so much.

Great job with this challenge. I like that you presented it as a narrated script. I love your casual conversational style. This was very interesting and filled with lots of fun character descriptions. Nice work with this one. I hope you are feeling better.

I guess sometimes getting kidnapped can be a good thing. At least in your case it was. I enjoyed reading. I wonder how many other 'kidnappings' turned out as good?

    That's a good question. What a great topic. I'd love to read a series of stories about various experiences. I'm sure there are more like mine where it worked out well. I know there are others though that weren't as lucky. I'm so pleased you liked this one. I'm starting to feel a bit more comfortable with these darn things. It sure is a different animal altogether. Thanks so very much for your helpful reviews. :)) mikey

    Hi, Jan
    Wow, what a great encouraging review. Sorry I haven't been around much. I'll try and get caught up and participate more. Been sick and busy and other stuff. I do read all my reviews though and try and read all the entries even though I'm lame about reviewing and responding. Your doing great work keeping things going. Thanks a million, mikey

Michael,

Wow. A very intimate and revealing look into your background. It's so personal and real that it surprised me a bit. I feel sorry for your old family that was left behind, but things always seem to work out, I guess. One note: 'thermos'

Thanks!
