Hi wierdgrace.
Obviously, these are no ordinary children. You are writing this so quickly, I'm having a job keeping up, but it is full of suspense that I do not want to miss.
Fondly, Rebecca

All six of the children have contacted each other. They have become very best friends. Since no one believes they have brothers, they decided to keep their contact a secret. Finally, a stranger contacted them. Perhaps he can explain who they are.

I love this new twist. Terrific idea to have the six be telepathic. And all extemely intelligent. They could take over the world! The last sentence is the only one I'm a little confused with. Who was awakened by a new voice? the parents or the boys?

Hi WeirdGrace,

The story continues nicely.

Here are my suggestions.

appeared in his mind's eyes. (mind's eye.)

They had some children's talk, telling where they lived and whom they played with. (would be better to say, 'they talked for a while, as children do.' or something like that)

Into Johnny's mine-eye (mind's eye)

all laughing and telling where they were. (all laughing and speaking about where they lived)

They were all extra smart having no trouble with school and as they grew older, they were very careful not to tell anyone about their brothers who they had never seen in person but who they all knew just as though they had been raised together. (this needs to be two sentences, break between the boys being smart and them being careful not to tell others about each other.)

They all found out that to talk to their child was all that was needed for the child to mind, (this sentence doesn't make any sense to me, can't figure it out)

Also, you have too many sentences that start with 'they'.

This story is shaping up very interestingly.

Good luck at the hospital, I hope it isn't anything too serious :)

Jules

This is an interesting read about the boys and how they are aware of each other. I'm glad they are good kids and smart. It will be fun to follow them as they grow. I hope everything will be okay with your hospital visit. ann

Great chapter. I just had a few suggestions.


I think this should be mind's eye not eye.

...in his mind's eyes.

Same here:
Into Johnny's mine-eye--should be mind's eye.

Good luck with rest of chapter.

This was a good story, but I was a little confused. So they were all born at the same time (sextuplets) and then adopted by different parents? I've always heard that twins share feelings even when they are separated. Interesting story and good luck with the contest! B :)
