Comment from C. Gale Burnett
I am enjoying reading of life's lessons and breathing and living the moments of each day, not creating anxiety or becoming overwhelmed when looking too far ahead.
Love the spiritual emphasis of the story; God always in the picture, assisting, guiding. As much so, I enjoy reading of the Native American spirituality.
Being ignorant, I look forward to reading further about Abe Lincoln and the Native Americans.
Great job!

Comment from dellsworthpoet
This snippet is interesting. Mostly it gives us some grounding in locale. We learn the car is not where they expected it. And now they are driving back to the garage.
The dialogue is believable. The language is appropriate. The flow is good.
My question is how does this forward the story? In such a small piece it is impossible to tell. It is a question you should always ask yourself.
Thanks for a good read.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is an interesting part of the story as they see something of God's hand in what is happening. It might be a little too much introspection as the reader is not told where they are or what they are doing. Walking? Riding in Tommy's vehicle? Or how close they are to the garage. Also, when someone thinks something, like Tommy trying to get them in a better mood, his words belong in the paragraph with the thinking part. There are also other places where I couldn't guess who was speaking because it had been separated from what they were thinking. Best of luck with this. I've found the more I write something over again, the better it becomes.

Thank you for your reviewing time. If you are going to only see my writing as a B, I wouldn't think it pleasurable enough to read. So if you do not find my writing pleasurable, no need to spend time reading it.
-
I'm sorry you feel this way. My intent was only to be helpful as I appreciate others telling me helpful things about my writing.
-
I appreciate your intentions. I hope only for 5 & 6's. To get a 4 doesn't help anyone. They don't count for anything so it just discourages.
-
I've had fours and appreciated the advise and changed things. It's a learning experience. Also, you are philosophical but aren't as clear as usual about what is going on.
Comment from Mabaker12
Quite an exciting continuation of the girl's story. And insight into the Native way of life. Now it looks as if the car is stolen! They go back to the empty supermarket and the car that is there. Great read. Love u Anne

Good it's too good to stop just yet.
Comment from aryr
This definitely was an interesting continuation chapter, Liz. I am so glad that they are going back to the garage and that they are all thinking the car that Liz's car was back there. Poor Liz was totally freaking out, despite Linda's and Tommy's efforts to calm her. It was a great idea to include Lincoln into their conversation. Great job and well enjoyed.

So much of history has been hidden & distorted
Comment from Judy Lawless
I'm glad to see that they have finally decided to check out the car back at the garage. The girls have gotten themselves into a frenzy, but Tommy's smart thinking is helping. Now they have something else to think about.
One suggestion for cutting unnecessary parts to the story. Once Tommy said, "We don't need to see our entire path..." you had it re-said by everyone, in different ways. I think just a short agreement from the girls would be sufficient.
A few minor spags:
"I say we head back and see if it is yours." - You can end this sentence at 'see' since 'if it's yours' has already been said a couple of times. Best to avoid too much repetition.
We don't need to see our entire path to take the first step. - great sentence. The beginning quotation marks are missing though.
An important crow, who called herself Aandeg, helped me, for moments like this." - again, beginning quotation marks are missing.

Thank you for your invested review. I will take your observations into consideration.
Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
This Chapter 48 of the Fiction from the book Traffic speaks fantastically plethora of twists and turns, though ultimately their journey becomes a metaphor, in reality, it is further confirmed, in the story, that President Lincoln didn't do anything to the Native Americans; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this.

Thank you for your involved review. Welcome to my book. If you are interested, I wrote the first 13 chapters about us rescuing 10 Native teens. You are invited to read them. No need for any reviews. Just enjoy. You will find out in the next chapter that the car was outside the garage all along, repaired & ready to go.
