I love this story. It was captivating.

I love the compassion in this story. Evan was trying to teach that to the others.
I hope there is more to come of this story. Will we ever see Evan again?

I'm a little confused about "Shelly" and "Sherry." Did I miss someone?

Great story. 8-)

    Oops. I better go back and edit. I love that the people on this website see what I don't. You are a blessing. There is only one person Sherry. It I wrote Shelly then that is a typo.

It sounds like there may be a continuation to this story as the woman is going to have her baby, probally in the cafe in the midst of the storm. The story kept me entertained.

What a great and mysterious contest entry. I think you've done a great job here, and would love to read a continuation of the baby being born and how things changed. Very well done. Wouldn't change a single thing.

Hello jusylee72,

This is an intriguing story with a fascinatinating plot twist. You have a great imagination and yoe should do well in the contest.

There eyes met in disbelief.

"There" should be 'their,' and I may have seen another instance where their was used for there.

I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Regards,
Lana

    Thank you so much, I immediately corrected the Their. Having other ears and eyes makes such a difference for a writer. You truly helped me. Thank you.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is very entertaining with the interactions between Sherry, Max and Evan. Your dialogue between these three kept my interest throughout this excellent story. I had a suspicious feeling about Evan. That "He" was there for a reason. His presence created conversation, conflict and a telling of what God rewards us with. I like how you ended this story.

Very well thought out and written. Hope you and yours have a very Happy Easter.

You also have a very good heart. There was a moral to your story and a gentleness, even with the argument between Sherry and Max, but I think that was the gentleness I was feeling, Evan was the gentleness. Bringing light to meaning of tolerance and acceptance, A very good story and I could tell you enjoy writing, it shines into your stories.

This is excellent. The plot is good...the characters real...and I was in the restaurant. Up until..the change..Evan was just a man. It leaves the reader questioning ..angel? Alien ᤾?

Interesting to write, huh? Well, pretty interesting to read too. I thought the contrast between the different characters was something that set this apart.

Really good job.

I thought this was a good story. A very creative entry for the contest. I found a few things for your consideration.

'Jeff, the owner of the Cafe and Max had been friends since childhood.' You have a subordinate clause. Use offsetting commas after Jeff and after cafe (which should not be capitalized).

"Fate, destiny. What goes around comes around." now Sherry was talking,' My suggest would be turn this into a speech tag. Comma after around, Sherry said.

I was Baptized in the blood of the lamb and I know right from wrong.' Two complete sentences, use comma before and.

But Shelly's wanted to argue "Right?"' Period after argue. Sherry? and no possessive needed.

"There's three of us Jeff." Max stated the obvious. Comma before Jeff and after Jeff

"Did you get struck by lighting Max? I see only two." Comma before Max.

Overall, very good story.

Take care,
Russell
