Congratulations on your Story of the Month nomination. This is a great piece of writing, and feel like I missed out by not catching on to the earlier installments.

Cheers,
Erika

This was an interesting read. I enjoyed the conclusion. You led up
to it well throughout the earlier chapters. Now this one is fitting.
I like how the medallion proved to be of exceptional value. The
levitation scenes were great. Your words were created great imagery.
I was engaged from start to finish. I liked the font choice.
Thanks for sharing an intriguing ending, Jan

A most creative and satisfying ending for those of us who have followed your story from the first. I noted you posted it but waited until my sixes were replenished, to be sure I was able to reward you for your exemplary writing on not only this final chapter but all of it. How terrific this came in as your Milestone "50!"

(Extra props for not capitalizing satan. As I always say "Little s ~ no respect!)

Excellent.

This was powerful, I must go back and read the chapters before it, you should be proud to have finished your story. I hit a block, been caring for elderly parents. Very overwhelming.

Hi John, this was a dramatic ending to your story . You wrote it with such skill. It was scary yet very satisfying at the same time. I have enjoyed every word I read. I know, I've not been the best of reviewer of late because of personal events. I now hope to be back to normal. Ulla:)))

Wow, some mighty gripping and vivid descriptions. I'll probably be checking the closet and under the bed like a five-year-old tonight before I turn in. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

    Ha! Thank you, my friend, for the SIX. It won't matter where you look, Ric, I've instructed him to find YOU. The evil laugh is not included, but I will throw it in because you gave me six stars. Thank you again, my friend!

Congratulations on your 50th post. This was a good end to the story, which was quite intriguing and had lots of interesting action and surprises. It's not really long enough for a book but there are quite a few places requesting this length. Have you tried marketing your writing? There are a lot of online sites and some print ones as well as anthologies. There is an English gentleman who has a great site for info, but I haven't checked since before the pandemic and he did have health problems. You might check Ralan.com to see if he is still putting up markets. Good luck.

I loved the resolution of your final chapter. There was left the nimbus of "truth" about Christianity's need for opposition to Truth, Beauty, and the Way. You handled it well.

burst into black varicose threads [LOVE that!]

I'm rather confused why you didn't wait six or seven hours to post this so your delighted readers might have sixes for rewarding such a marvelous read.

You write with astounding skill, John!

Jay

    Hi, Jay, I wish I had an understanding of when the sixes are issued. But, I have to say a mention from an idle is good enough for me. Thank you, my friend. Varicose threads came to me in the middle of the night, lol. You know that scenario, Jay! Hahaha. I thank you again for the honorable mention.
