Comment from Kathleen Washnis
A very interesting writing bringing the reader back in time and what may have been going on, bringing his lord some bread and tea. You gave a real feel of old England or Europe with your dialog along with the picture. I enjoyed how it was a conversation between Sebastian and his lord.

This is a fine contest entry, and I wish you well as the Committee judges.
Your historical dialogue was very realistic bringing the scene and characters to life ... especially the frail blind king.

Comment from Earl Corp
I got so wrapped up in the story I didn't realize it was dialogue only. That's how you can tell it's a good one. Good luck in the contest.

I enjoyed your contest entry, Sally. You did a great job with your story in dialogue format. It read smoothly with great meaning. It was easy to follow the storyline. This is a great dialogue entry and could have been a great entry for the faith contest. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan

Comment from Sylvia Page
Hello Sally,
It is a challenge to write a story using only dialogue. Yet you have done a great job.
The story I believe is set in England. Therefore, in my opinion, British English is appropriate. I won't go into much detail but pardon my saying, I think colors is spelt colours.
Best wishes in the contest,
Sylvia

Thank you, dear Sylvia. I appreciate the excellent review and kind comments. Yes, colors should be spelled colours. I am a blind writer and use voice-over text to write. This spelling, however, was continuously flagged in my edit format. But, I will put a notation in the Author?s notes below, as it?s the proper spelling in Commonwealth English for that time and place.
Sending you my best today, as always,

Comment from A. Willow Bends
Oh! I am so very jealous of great dialogue writers! This is my weakness. I love this, Sally. You of course, would have the insight to see, without actually seeing the intense emotion of KNOWING the flag is there flying in all its glory! You vision issue allows you an avenue of creativity and thought that others cannot venture onto and it works for you! I have always heard that one of our senses weakens, something else strengthens to make up for it. It is obvious your writing talent picks up the ball for you! Great job and Good Luck!

Comment from James W. Reynolds
Nice work. It is difficult to tell a story using only dialogue. Here, the voices are distinct, so it is easy to determine who is talking. The story is told in a natural way. It does not sound contrived or choppy.

Very nicely done. I passed on the dialogue only contest as a challenge for which I had no energy. LoL. A well written story with a meaningful emotional message.

Comment from Heather Knight
I love how you have set the scene, it's very realistic. I also like the ending that I didn't expect.
I'm intrigued by something. In England the word fortnight is very common, isn't it widely used over there? (I've seen you've explained its meaning in the notes.)
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Fortnight definition was for Americans who don?t read English literature, where it is used extensively I Jane Austen?s books for instance. Just a heads up for those with modern tastes. I am so appreciative of the excellent review and encouragement, dear Maria. Sal xo
