This is an interesting contest and I imagined a story, complete with emotions from just six short lines. Very nicely done. Thanks

You did a very good job on this story without using the letter S. It is always great to have a happy ending to me. Good luck in the contest. Hugs, Teri

Very nice of job of not using the letter s and still having a short story that used details and a plot. You even were able to squeeze in dialogue. Clever. Good job and good luck with the contest. ann

A very well written story, especially with the word restrictions you were under. I couldn't find one 'S' in it either. Good job and good luck.

I can remember having those anxious thoughts a few times, but never with the police involved. This is a short and impactful story without an s. Good job on entry. Love, Jean

Well done! You've managed to meet the requirements of the prompt and at the same time produce a good quality mini story that clearly conveys the characters' emotions.

You tell a wonderful little story in few words without using the letter 'S'. I think it's difficult to do, but you did it very well. I like the last line - Thank you, God.

What a scary scene, to have a child lost. Thank God He answered her prayers. Well done without using 'S' and with a limited word count.

Nice little piece here. Well done on achieving the goals in this challenging entry.
I don't even want to think about how I would feel if one of my children got lost, or went missing.

One thing, I think you could probably do away with 'quite' in the sentence where Danny returns looking contrite.

I know you are limited to word count for the entry, but it would be interesting to know where he went or what happened. :)

Good luck
Alison

Whoa. This certainly is a story that made me stop and think this morning. One of my children were missing once and the relief when she was found was a definite answered prayer. You did well with conveying this fear of every parent. Good luck in the contest.
