I am fully overwhelmed by your brilliant creativity which clearly shines through your writing of painted illusions which seem so real.Your unique style certainly leaves it's impact.

Your writing continues as your signature, one of a kind.

Unique perspective, well written. Hooks readers in from the beginning and maintains the suspense throughout. Great imagery that reaches the mind and the heart. Sometimes it's worth it to let the muse run wild and break the barriers of an 800 word count. Well done.

You set a tense atmosphere right from the first line, Bev. Nicely done!

...screeching like a robbed whore - sharp and intense

Great tale from a new perspective.

I love the last line. Nicely done, my dear!

Love,
Tina

Good story. When I read about St. Paul in the bible I didn't really think too much about his personal life before he was struck blind. I knew that he had persecuted Christians but never reflected on it. This story gives the man a persona, even tho it is from your own thoughts. Makes one realize that he was a real person, with real faults and cares. Enjoyed it. Saw no spag.

An entertaining account of the story of St. Paul (Saul of Tarsus). Too bad you couldn't have entered it into the contest, but sometimes we just can't sacrifice our story for member dollars. I know how that goes. Nicely told!

Hi Bev,

I have a difficult time reading spiritual fiction because it is usually so far from Bible truth. But I thought I'd give this a try, since it's yours. You've done a good job of keeping it close.

more afraid of a vengeful pagan God (god) than their pious leader's rage

Instinctively, 'Stipes' (Stipes - no need for the quote marks, since the name was explained previously) reached to tighten the girdle, filled with Roman coins, beneath his tunic.

The horse's reins were jerked violently from 'Stipes' (Stipes') hands

Stipes's (Stipes') hoarse voice and stricken countenance gave rise to panic among the three men.

"I say we leave him here and return to Jerusalem before whatever struck him down does the same to us.(,)" Nathan, the brother of Benjamin countered.

To the amazement of his companions, 'Stipes' (Stipes)allowed himself to be led to the cart without any protest.

A very entertaining read. Your author notes were of great help. Never quite knew it like this, or maybe I forgot quite a bit? Needed a refresher. Very dramatic. Historical and wonderfully written. Thanks for sharing. Les

A well told story, with dialogue that sounds right for the period (as far as we know what it should sound like). I don't find anything that needs fixing. Well done.
