Wahhhh I wanna know!! :)<br /><br />Seriously, though, your imagery is so vivid that experiencing the story as if you're a part of it yourself just happens....completely naturally. <br /><br />I will say though....every scene that featured the Dragon....ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. And I'm pretty sure it's not just me reading it alone in my room at 2 AM...the downright terrifying essence you captured with little to no dialogue for him was just genius.<br /><br />Gotta say though, one of my favorite lines is: Thick black goo ran down his wrist and stained the sleeve of his only shirt.<br /><br />Just that one line...it says so much...<br /><br />Fantastic job! I want more! :D<br /><br /><br />-MelanieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221671042978201709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-70824391743874227242015-09-03T09:52:19.157-04:002015-09-03T09:52:19.157-04:00Jacib is my favorite character.

Although your ending left me hanging as to his situation, I thought it was a good one for a short story. Good short stories, many times, do leave you hanging, wishing for more. That is what keeps us coming back to Mrs. Stengl's books...that need for more Goldstone Wood tales! So many times she leaves a minor character "unfinished" in one book only to be finished later down the road. Although the more she writes, the more I realize that one of her characters is never completely finished!!Pennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-34088751333285387472015-09-01T11:57:20.419-04:002015-09-01T11:57:20.419-04:00Oh, my!
