Hi there,

This was a well written and effective piece of writing. Personally I dislike the religious undertones and felt that the story did not need them, but that is the writer's prerogative.

Very effective in getting the emotion across and the dialogue both internal and external were well used.

Good luck in the competition.

    Thank you for your kind comments and taking the time to read my post. Putting religious undertones in my stories is not my norm, but having been hit with tragedy after tragedy lately, I guess my inner self expressed itself. I am pleased that you enjoyed the basic story and thank you for your best wishes. Have a great day!

You certainly haven't lost your touch my Sis. this short story grasped my attention from beginning to end, holding me on tender hooks not knowing how it was going to pan out.. as I hung onto every new line waiting and hoping things would be for the best. a beautiful and gentle afterthought followed as Jamie and his Mum shared their moment of thankfulness .. here's hoping for the best results in the competition.. luv and hugs and welcome back to writing.. little sis xoxox

    A real fireworks explosion from my Sis....Glad the Land of Oz found pleasure in my writing....This is my third story (how dare you miss Stay Safe lol) in a matter of days. Flash fiction isn't my style but it's a great way to get back into the swing of things especially since my time is limited. It feels good to get the ole cobwebs brushed out and the fingers dancing on the keyboard again. Your encouragement goes well past the usual standard but I would expect no less from my Sis. Love ya and thanks again. Smiles and hugs!

Our emotions can build mountains out of mole hills quickly. Let go and Let God. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read.

    Charlie, it's so nice to hear from you and I appreciate your comments. Been out of the writing saddle for quite a while, dealing with life and it's pitfalls. Life certainly does have a way of playing with our emotions.....Taking time for myself is rare, but I found pleasure in writing again and especially in kind words from friends. Have a great day!

Hi, Begin Again...

Touching story, which as you say, anything can happen in seconds, the blink of an eye.

I believe this is a strong contender in the contest. Good Luck.

Cheers & Blessings

Before I comment about your write.
I remember seeing your name with my knucklehead self I could not get it together at all.
Just today here you are again, I looked at my fan list and shouted for joy.

How have you been
I love the words to your story. I thought it was so sweet/Out of the mouth of babes.
I'm please there was a happy ending.
Have a bless weekend.
Until next time.

    Hello Miss Cookie....so nice of you to stop by and read my post. Yes, it's been a long while since I've visited. Tragedy after tragedy has been striking this family and finding time for myself and writing got put to the side. It was relaxing and fun to once again sit down at the keyboard and brush the cobwebs out of my mind. You don't corner the market on that slow recall...my mind isn't as quick as it use to be either..LOL. Thank you for taking the time to read and leave me such a nice message.....Hopefully I will be able to get back into the swing of writing again. Take care.....Have a great day!

    have a bless and safe week end,
    Cookie

Such a good job of making us feel empathy for Lillian, and good use of dialogue and description to create and maintain suspense until the climax comes with that last phone call. Also, good "parallel" story involving the child and the Legos. A very good "worry" entry.
