A fascinating story with well structured dialogue and narration.

Here are a couple of spots to check:
She hated their wining, (whining)

"Ha ha ha ha," she guffawed loudly.(delete loudly, gaffaw is loudly.)

He picked Mildred up off the floor and dashed up the staircase, with a puzzled and bewildered Mildred right on his heels.

Hello amahra. Long time no see. (I love your new picture. Great hat, lovely smile.)

I read straight through this. Who could stop in the middle? LOL
You kept me interested from start to finish. Great dialogue and highly descriptive. You brought horror to the page.

Your poetry background shows in the wonderful rhythm and easy flow of your story.

Good job. :) ellen

    Wow! You are amazing. You're the kind of writers I love to meet on here. I can't believe you took the time and went over my work like that. Thank you soooo much. I did not deserve a five star. I think I love you ....LOL I changed everything but four things and some were dialogue. Your characters have the right to speak poor English. But I did change the other 102 mistakes... LOL!
reply by mikenbel on 29-Apr-2013
    I didn't count mistakes...and yes, everyone suffers from poor English use... :-) Thank you for the reviewer contest vote. I am honored! I am going back and upping it to six. The story was GREAT! And not just because I saw my own name in there...although she was a bad one. :-)

    You know, do you remember "Tales from the Dark Side"? This would be great converted to a script!
reply by the author on 29-Apr-2013
    Oh my God! Thank you. You did not have to do that. I am so honored.

    Like I said, the content was outstanding...and otherwise, you know what you want on the page...your fingers may just not be following orders like you would expect.

'Blood Covenant.' A very, very good story told and so well written also...'raised veins, any junky would have considered it a treasure chest.' Well done.

When one comes into contest with a demon,all heat is evaporated.I notice you had problems at the beginning to keep the names corrected and numerous errors. I left them alone. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words. Good luck in your contest.

    While I was reading this, I kept having weird feelings. Sorry I wasn't much help.
reply by the author on 28-Apr-2013
    Yeah, I do too and I wrote it. But a Holy man comes at the end saves them. Sorry it made you uncomfortable. It means you're a good person.

    I am very sensitive to negativity. You're welcome, Amahra. Charlie

Your story was an interesting combination. I thought it was well written, and I liked the ending, but the subject matter...with all the urine...just kind of weirded me out a little bit. It was still a great story though.

    Thank you for the review. I remember family stories when I was small about people in some parts of the south who used women's urine and menstrual blood for Voo Doo curses. So I played on that.
