Utterly breathtaking! Your imagery is vibrant, your use of ellipses creates a state of mind suggesting illusiveness or daydreaming, and your sentence structure fantastically mimics the voice of one dealing with grief (living step by step.)

Comment from Bill Pinder
Exceptional writing that is presented with a lot of emotion in this story. I can feel the sentiment very deeply since I had a wife who died from brain cancer, and there is no way to express in words how hard it is. Bill

Thank you for your review this evening. I am honored that it touched your heart in memory of him. May you have a beautiful evening!
Comment from LisaMay
I love your story. Virtual 6. It is beautifully told and i'd like to think it actually happened, to give Camille's grief and loss expression in tears as a healing step. I liked the 'reality bite' with having a hermit crab in the story.

Thank you for your time and for such a touching and encouraging review, Jeffrey - those stars mean a whole lot, and I will be sure to pass them along to Camille... :-) May you have a beautiful evening!
Comment from estory
This moment when Camille makes this connection with Steven through the conch shell seems to speak for all of us who have lost loved ones. In one instant, we see the distance, the separation between them, and also get the lingering connection, through the voice. The sea also serves as a great metaphor for death. It is that mysterious element that seems to sever us from our experience here on the Earth. estory

Comment from Susan Larson
While this beautiful story is categorized as supernatural, I have personally experienced such mystical messages from souls departed. It sound like the writer, too, has a real feel for this story. I think it should do well in the contest.

Comment from Bichon
This was quite an interesting story. The plot was engaging, as was Camille and her recently deceased Steven. The ending was heartwarming and a perfect end to the story.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was so lovely. I guessed the conch had something to do with Steven, but not that! It was a lovely twist in the end, and I thought how nice it would be if we could all have a chance to hear the voice of the one we loved just once more. Well done, this is an excellent contest entry. Good luck! :)) Sandra xx
