Excellent story with great use of your 100 words. So many FF stories have obvious places where a word has been added or left out in order to get the number to 100, but I do not see that here. That shows you have a real talent. Well done and good luck in the contest.

What a fun contest entry, Jennifer. I enjoyed reading it.
You set up your story well. Readers could feel your
compassion for the little fairy and for you and your decision.
The image is a great pairing.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

This is a really sweet short story. You have a good imagination to think this up and a delightful way of deciding she must be freed. Of course, there are others to love her. Best of luck in the 100-word flash fiction.

That was lovely. If that actually happened, I wonder if the person would do as you did in this flash fiction story, and release the fairy back into the forest. I'd like to think I would, but I couldn't be sure. Well done, this was a lovely story. Good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

    Thank you for taking the time to review my story and for the excellent rating. If this were a real life scenario, I like to think I would have set her free as well. I'm sure there are people who wouldn't have, and that would create a completely different story. That would be an interesting project--two versions of one story. :) Thank you for your kind words. Have a fantastic day!

This is a delightful and well written flash fiction story with a cute happy ending. The idea that I liked most was your recognition that you "held evidence magic existed." This story delivers a beautiful fantasy. Best wishes in the contest.

Excellent. I won't get into all those "virtual six" conversations, because, alas, I don't budget them well. I will say I found your 100 Word Flash enchanting and well written and the very theme made me smile. I think I'll never stop believing in a bit of magic...

This was a good fantasy flash fiction in just 100 words. I enjoyed reading it. I am glad that your narrator released the fairy. I hope they will meet again. Best wishes.

Jenifer, you got the right person for this story as I absolutely love fairy tales and happy endings. While reading this, I thought to myself, when you decided to let her out of the jar and you not being sure if she understood you, would she appreciate your unselfish act? You made the story complete for me, when she bowed to you, before disappearing into the thicket. Thank you my friend, for a lovely story. Great job Jenifer!!

Well, I had to read this one three times to be sure. And yes, this is that good. I think we have a winner. You made perfect use of every word, with not one wasted or missing.

This deserves a six. I suspect it will get a seven from the site.

Well done.
