Excellent

I'm so glad you found your way home and didn't get eaten by a hungry bear. At that age it really is amazing you knew what to look for. I wouldn't have. I was such a dumb kid, I'd have just screamed bloody murder until someone found me. Very fun story. Good job. Hope you do well in the contest.

Oh, how you showed the reader a captivated tale with such awesome colorful words. As you kept spinning a wonderful web of being lost and finally found your way home. I was immersed in the story as I clung on to the seat of my pants wanting more. This is Totally a wonderful story. Good Luck. You are blessed with your gift of writing.

Hello Mystery Writer,
I so appreciate your story on a number of levels: setting, characterization, plot, and of course, the ending. Boy! Those were the days when 5 and 6 year olds could go on their way and play as you and your brother did. There would be "hell to pay" today not just from Granny! Loved that you saved your "butts' by telling Granny that God was watching you! Your story surely could have had a not so happy ending!
Well-crafted!

Five and six, huh? Adventurous lads to be roaming the Vermont woods during bear season. Your Grammy was right to be worried.
I'd think slightly older lads might be more up to this adventure.
Glad you didn't get eaten.

Peace, Lee

Thanks for the comments, but I have proof in my Auntie's diaries of the date. It was a small farm of 75 acres and we had no one else to play with, so we knew our boundaries by favorite rocks, especially.
We used to head for the house if we heard the bears "hooting" as we were told. Now I hear that's a sign of Bigfoot! Who knew?
Thanks for reviewing this.
