Brilliant writing here in my opinion. I especially liked your use of terse and pithy sentences to create tension and push the action along. I will be looking out for chapter 5. kay

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was a good start! But, perhaps it really was the best start, when Georgia discovers who Stacey is, she will either threaten her with the police, or, tell her she is on her son's side. I'm off to the next chapter. This is great writing, Jacob. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from tfawcus
Superb use of sentence variation to give the sense of urgency and near-panic. You also use incidental details such as the McDonald's cup and the busker well to establish the setting vividly in your readers's minds. Great cliffhanger at the end, too.

It's got; I hate to say it, dirtier. (Suggest the incidental clause might be better punctuated with em dashes)

Very well written and enjoyed, Jacob!
The suspense and the detailing of the following was perfect. Enough description to entertain the reader as they hop trains and follow the unbeaten path.
Smiles, Carol

Comment from John Ciarmello
This was a nail-biter, Jacob! As I read, I thought Stacey simply wanted to find out where Georgia lived. It was a shock when she went up the driveway and knocked on the door. This is a subtle hanger but a brilliant one!
Nice work here. Best, JohnC

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Cool. Stacey managed to tail her all the way. Now what, get turned in to the cops? Maybe go to jail?
Nicely written chapter. Suspensful enough for the action. Good work.

Comment from BethShelby
This is interesting how she have fainted on and now the girl can't exactly close the door on her as she might have done if she had realized it was the mother of the young man the jury she served on has just declared guilty. I'm anxious to see where this goes.

You have an excellent grasp of what it takes to write a riveting first person story. The plot is intriguing and creative as well. It definitely holds interest. I am eager to read the next posting.

This chapter's pace makes me want to go back and read the other chapters. Stacey must have been very nervous to get this far. It sounds as if she fainted right as she wanted to ask something essential. Great way to keep reader interest.

Oh my goodness this is quite an exciting chapter as following someone without them knowing is not easy and this lady was followed to her home and just as she answers the door, Stacey collapses! Another fine chapter Jacob, love Dolly x x x
