I never imagine one can write a good and 'normal' story with the given words but finally I get one that I like. After deciding to pass all, I change my decision and read this nice story by my creative friend. Good luck with the competition, Carol.

What a generous and kind thing to say. I am deeply touched by your words. So often, people are unkind or simply indifferent to what all of us write. Even though this was only a silly little contest, your words will forever touch my heart. Thank you. Always your friend, Carol

I loved it, but of course I'm an romantic. You did a wonderful job with it and in only 150 words. It takes me 300 pages to tell a love story. I am so jealous. I wish I had 6 stars, they would be yours. ****** It's the best I can do

Hello Deloralock .. Your story is delightful! You used all the words so effectively, and the ending was so sweet!
Your title selected was excellent; so clever! I thought it was clever of you to highlight the requested words in red .. All in all, I thank you for such a sweet story of love. Lucia

Hi Begin Again,

Very nice story! Although, you had me going there for awhile. I'd assumed that Tommy and Kelly were brother & sister! Could ya put 'next door neighbors' in there?

Still a great story. Thanks for sharing it with us & good luck in the contest!

smiles,

deb

Nice use of the selected words in this short story of childhood animosity hiding eternal love. I like the way you touched on relevant turning points to the happy ending.
