I can see this story going in so many directions. Even the genre is open. There is a suggestion of the sinister, of course (more than a suggestion), but you give the authors great latitude. This should yield varied results, which I think is good for the contest.
I'll try to write something, especially with the extended deadline.
BTW--a rich beginning, well crafted. Bravo!
Glad to see another edition of FTS
Your appreciation means a lot for me. I took my due time to edit (and I still find some points I would change) right to create that malleability. Thanks for your comment and I'm looking forward to your interpretation!
Thanks...we can always edit. At some point we have to walk away and let the reader go to work.
I hope I get a piece out, but will definitely be following the entries as they come in.
I tried. But this isn't going to happen. I hate hospitals so much that it pains me to imagine being there. And when I write, I do imagine vividly the scenes I describe. One story came out, but it's unnatural, dreadful.
So, I can't finish this story. Afraid I live in a Pollyanna consciousness that stubbornly refuses to go dark :))
No worries! Thanks for taking your time and tell us. Darkness can turn into light but if something doesn't click, well it just doesn't. Creativity and its laws 🙂
I do support FTS. That's what's important. So glad to see it up and thriving.
