This is a sweet story . The poetic justice here is very well portrayed, and i love the way right triumphed over the bad bad guys. I really enjoyed it. kudos

Fantastic. Perhaps I should continue reading your material for the sheer enjoyment of it. LOL No ratings. I have once again run out of 6 stars! I look forward to your writing all the time

Comment from sugardog
Nice job on this fast paced and entertaining read! You amaze me with all your different stories. I liked that Megan had a good friend, Tammy, to stand by her and bring out the truth to what really happened. Tammy believed in her friend and I loved the happy ending!
"The interior of the house was a shambles." Should it say "in" shambles-not sure, but just seemed like it should.
You are a great story teller-good luck in the contest. Dana

Comment from patwannabe
Carol, this is marvelous, as usual. I hope your brain never empties as you are a first class story teller.
Only one word struck me as being out of place: I wondered where Louis, the owner was AT. Mercy me, do you need that AT? It kinda hit me in the pit of my stomach and ruined an otherwise perfect write. "I wondered where Louis, the owner was." (This is not really correct, either.) How about: "Where was Louis, the owner? He's always here." (Your choice, of course, your story.)
Keep writing, I'll read. pat

Pat,
Oops..one of my vocal flaws...but I have quickly corrected it. Too bad I can't change my everyday speaking as easily. LOL Thanks for the wonderful review and the gracious comments. Smiles, Carol

I talk that way, too. I like the way you changed the sentence and glad you used your own words, not mine. Mark of a real writer. Thanks, pat

Comment from Sharesy
Just this one little spag:
Like a bolt of lightning, [he] fingers snared my arm and yanked me to my feet - his
This was excellent, Carol. I loved the surprise ending.

I like this word prompt--makes for a great opening. Wel written as usual. One thing:
Like a bolt of lightning, (he) fingers snared my arm and yanked me to my feet. > typo.

Comment from LadyNyx
Wow, this was simply fantastic! I couldn't stop reading, didn't even want to stop to watch something my son wanted to show me (I did though). Very believable and touching. I'm glad Megan managed to get through it all. Great job!
