I like how you told this story. You had me trying to figure out what was going on until close to the end when I figured out the alternative telling you gave. Best of luck with the contest.

Great new perspective on a great biblical event. I like the way you developed the story slowly and steadily, letting the reader scratch their head and wonder. Then the final lines... perfectly constructed.
Good luck with the contest!!!

A bit different for us to read but maybe if they had listened they too could have been spared upon the ark. I

This work has reached the exceptional level

What a great job you did of telling this story of Noah. I guessed who he was about half way through the story. I like how (1) you set the scene contrasting how his family is imprisoned while others are partying, (2) how you characterize "him" as someone ostracized by his neighbors, and (3) how you build toward your climax by using dialog.
This story should win! Rod

    Thank you too for the amazing six stars! I didn?t even realise at first. (Too early in the morning!) I greatly value the honour.

What? Did you just come from Sunday school when you wrote this epilogue that sure sounded like Noah in Genesis, chapters 6 through 9. Still, I enjoyed a different twist and can relate to the world going to h... in a handbasket.

That's quite a horror tale for anyone suffering from claustrophobia! And I wondered where this was going which was skilful on the part of the writer. The story continues to evolve and we become aware of a wedding party and this appears to be quite an extreme way of avoiding this particular celebration! But by the end we realise that this has been prescient action to avoid inevitable disaster, warnings ignored by the victims of this flooding. An original story expanding from the prompt. Good luck in the contest! A very worthy contender! Debbie

It's almost like locking oneself in an unescapable dwelling and throwing away the keys, and hoping someone can break in when everyone else in the world has died, perhaps God will come to the rescue. This is beautifully written my friend, good luck, blessings Roy
