I loved this exciting new turn in this story and I wonder if it's really a dream or did she somehow go back in time.

A very interesting story. It is well written with a smooth flow of words, making for an easy read. There is very good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Comment from adewpearl
dancing girl's wore - drop the apostrophe
This is certainly one fascinating vision this woman is having - the ghost town transformed into a thriving mining town, the abandoned building all of a sudden a busy saloon where she has become a bar girl dressed in period costume. I have visited ghost towns in the area around Tombstone, not amusement recreations like Tombstone, but abandoned ghost towns, and they are truly amazing places. This is a fun read. Brooke

Comment from Juliette Chamberlain
This really does feel like a ghost town.
As well as being transported there Wilma seems destined to play a part in the story too.
I will read on to see where this story is going.

Comment from FredCollingwood
Good story and well written. A couple of things you might consider:
Some were broken and some missing(,) the handrail was loose, but she decided to look up there. Comma splice. Recommend a semicolon.
She saw a canopied bed with white lace(,) the bedspread was hand knitted and a blue material showed through. > same. You're using a comma at the end od completed sentences. Use a period or semicolon.

What a lovely story telling style you have. Not a lot of narratives but you somehow seem to paint a concise picture for the reader. Very clever and obviously a lot of thought goes into your story. I enjoyed this chapter but I have definitely come into the story part way and will look forward to checking out another couple of chapters. One spag :"Sit down Wilma ... " should "read" be "ready"?
Overall a very nicely written piece and a great read.
Cheers closetpoetjester

Comment from Sweet Victory
Very interesting, this is my kind of story with a touch of mystery, I like the hook at the end and it sounds like she is very other-worldly almost angelic or goddess if you will and inviting the other girl into this magical world.
Good story and good hook!

Wilma has wondered into a very strange situation. She finds this beautiful girl in one of the rooms. They dress and go down into the saloon that's full of miners. This is so strange.
