A very interesting story my friend. So grabbing you held my attention the whole way through. Which is a feat with ADHD. I like it when I see someone take such pride in their work making it a pleasure to read instead of the haunts of trying to repair it.

The writer does a good job of gradually raising the intensity in this story. The writer uses good transition between the events as this story is well balanced. The pace is nice, steady and consistent as the writer does a good job of taking the reader where the reader needs to go. I see nothing that I would change in this story as I would recommend it to others to read. Good job.

A great chapter, amahra. I loved the descriptive power of this paragraph:

'The grounds bustled with children standing with colorful balloons and pink cotton candy. The most elderly welcomed the bright humid air; their arthritic joints sucked up the heat from paradise. They called it medicine from God.' I really like that thought!

Well done...

This is the best chapter so far, I think. You have honed your craft nicely and it shows in this write.

Great dialogue and nice build up of detail using several little incidents.

The summer scene felt like a piece from Gone With The Wind - fiddle-dee-dee ... :)

Well done, ma'am! xxx

Hi Amahra, this is another good chapter, I enjoyed reading it. Good descriptions, particularly in the picnic. Good surroundings description, adding to a quite good imagery. The communication was also good and easy to follow. The subject of the war was interesting.
