Excellent entry for the Supernatural Encounter writing prompt contest.

I enjoyed reading your story. It moved along nicely and the plot was easy to understand and follow. Good character development.

Lol! This is so fun and creative, Iza! This mentally plays with the idiom of "yarn" being a story. Hope your story does well in the contest!

This is a most imaginative and different tale from the usual and quite definitely unique in its plot. I enjoyed it very much Iza. I admire the way you've grasped English and the expressive way you've done it. An excellent post, my friend, good luck, blessings Roy

This is an unusual ghost story, but it is certain to appeal to children all the more for that. The only hole I find is the lack of proper explanation of why young Ilena teleports back to Transylvania once a year. Kate xx

This is a clever story. AT one point it made me think of the fairy tale Rumpelsilkskin (not sure of the spelling). Teleporting to Transylvania--this has got to be science fiction. LOL

The objective correlative of your tale reminisces the protagonist's likening his daughter to a yarn.

The work highlights the protagonist's encounter with Ileana, the mother of his daughter and how a yarn they were billed to untie eventually metamorphosed into his daughter.

The work earns its texture through its effective use of anecdotes synonymous with magical transformations in fairy tales.

Excellent work. Bravo.

I enjoyed reading this writing prompt entry. It's a cute and creative story. Please - only one person's dialogue per paragraph. You need to separate your dialogues.

This is a fun children's story. This kid's no dummy. He/she already knows
vampires come from Transylvania... And that babies are born in nine months. She much have believed her mom and dad were doing some other than untangling yarn to ask if she/he born nine months later. I'm confused about whether this is a girl or boy because you call him a lad but Ileana sounds like a girl and you say the mom was a beautiful girl just like you. Ghost and yarn children make an interesting fantasy story.
