What a place to stop! I hope she isn't going to do what I think she is. This is an eerie nightmare, at least I hope it's going to be a nightmare in this story, and an excellent contest entry. You certainly laid the trail for something dreadful all along the corridor. Well done, and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx

Most of us have awakened to an unrealistic dream. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read. Good luck in your contest.

Is it real or is it Memorex? Is Eu El dreaming? The way you're describing the action i think this is real. Your build up of tension is great. Good luck in the contest.

    I remember that phrase as a kid. :) In the story, Eu El is dreaming, but what he does not realize is that the dreams are real. Thank you the kind review and stars. Very much appreciated.

This is very horrible indeed. Why must the witch pick on the innocent baby girl? Eu El is in a very hazy fuzzy state of mind and it's hard to say whether he's in a nightmare or truly in this weird condition.

Interesting...I did notice how on this sentence: Everything that was Eu El's world, mixed with the confusion of adolescence, had transformed his life into a confusing equation he was left to solve by himself.
You used the word confusion and confusing...which are close together. So you might want to change one of them to a different word. Otherwise, very good.

A different kind of horror story. It is suspenseful. A boy with great power. This story brought chills to my bones. It is creepy and unique. Excellent work! Good luck in the contest!

This work has reached the exceptional level

I came in to see if there was something on the book side to catch my attention.

Not knowing what to expect, I read this as a passing decision.

Author. Your writing is superb. Grammar flowed but not stretched....effortless. I like that. Some try to hard, but when talent is a part, it comes naturally.
Insight to thoughts (the characters) and the actions forthcoming were excellent. The narrative through words that were excellently wielded. Very impressed, and worth the six stars.
Well done.
Hope you have success with it.
My very best wishes.

    Deeply honored for this attention and rating. I wasn?t sure if my chapter was headed in the right direction, or not. I?m planning on promoting my chapter 13, entitled, ?The Thirteenth Chapter? soon for Halloween. Hope you take time to read it as well. Thank you again for the uplifting and motivating support. God Bless.

This is a great horror story for the contest. The sci-fi effect of what I believe was travel of some sort, either to a different dimension or time was a cool concept to add into a horror piece. A very nice touch and an original premise, I think. The writing was excellent with a lot of solid descriptive words. You also did a great job of keeping the reader interested. Well written!

Hi there,

A great horror story for the upcoming contest. You have managed to build the tension and cause that eerie feeling of a cold finger running down my spine. I wish you lots of luck in the contest. I'm glad I read this in the light.
