I very much enjoyed reading your excellent story. It really drew me in and captured my attention from start to finish. I found myself rooting for the main character all the way and wishing the best for the individual. Your depiction of this situation was quite emotional and touching to me. Your descriptive skills are exceptional and you express yourself very well.

Oh, this psychic is really a good fairy who is looking out to protect people! I love it! I think this sounds like a good start for a book and the psychic and the detective can work together to solve crimes and keep people safe!
Best wishes in the contest!!

That was brilliant! So clever and a whole story in just 700 words. The thing is, your meanings of those cards dealt sounded so true, so I'm wondering what the real meanings were. No, don't tell me, I might rush out and buy a pack!! Lol. This is a great contest entry, and a six star story, which I don't have to give you. Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

    Thank you so much Sandra, for reading, reviewing and your great comments. Lol, I got the idea from the regular cards I use and the stones I read, so a little of it was true, just a little. Blessings and smiles.

To write a story like this, you must have an imagination that will deal a deck of cards and hopefully you will be lucky by the time you deal the last card. I don't play mind games. Good luck in the contest.

A very interesting story. Given the subject and powers of the psychic, I couldn't help thinking, from the moment she answered the phone, " Why is a psychic asking so many questions? Wouldn't they know already?

But the ending was clever. It showed that Andrea had a heart and provides for a happy ending.

I enjoyed this story, you do a really great job of bringing the scene to life. I like the way you start with a great hook and a lot of excitement, it works really well. The ending, although left open, is fun and satisfying. Thanks for sharing this

Dear Mystery Writer,

What a fun piece! hahahaha Totally unexpected in every respect and just a lot of fun.

There were a couple of nits in the piece so I suggest a really thorough read-through (reading aloud is your best way to spot errors). Go slowly and enunciate each word and make sure everything is where it should be. Obviously, you have the skill and talent to find them for yourself.
--wink--

I was way too interested in reading to stop and make a note! hahaha

Thanks and good luck!
