The story is great, in many ways. First of all, your introductory paragraph let's us know the character, Mrs. Marmeyer, is intriguing. Of course, we do not expect her to appear years later as she does--eternally young, and now the young man's lover.
Your writing style is smooth. You don't waste words. Your resolution is fine. Mrs. Marmeyer does not understand the mystery any more than we do. However, our narrator does clue us in that
Urban myths are fascinating and I'd come across several about people who constantly move to hide the fact they don't age.
Explanation enough.
Thank you for joining us in the Inkwell. We do expect our writers to read stories of other authors in the community, and comment on at least two. This mutual support is not only encouraging to writers, but also helps them to gain insight into how they are using their craft. We hope to read more stories from you.
Thanks for the feedback, and I'm looking forward to delving into the work of fellow Ink Writers
