RE: Theinkwell writing prize | The secret of the timbers

This is such a beautiful story, @marcybetancourt. Well done. I can almost see the town and the characters. George and Eusebio are painted as people with integrity, and their gesture to do something good for the community shows that did not turn out like their uncle!

The timber, as if it had a spirit, had atoned for their sins.

I love that line!

I always like to describe so that readers can imagine the places (as I have imagined it too).Hello @jayna.

That's the line that encloses everything. The integrity, the attitude, the symbolism, and the redemption. Also, the literary image of humanization.
I wrote this moment before the end of the story because this way the sentence has more impact.
Thanks for reading and commenting
