I certainly would not want to be a member of this family.
Maybe they should have considered seeking out the help of a Holy Man. Only the Spirit of God can stave off a curse such as this. It is truly a tool of the devil. Well done my friend. This is an interesting story. Nancy:)

    Well Nancy thank you. Like I said there is history and fiction mixed. Guess which is history?

The opposite? Maybe, of an almost parallel real life battle in the spiritual realm that many face. Very vivid pictures you painted with words. comment made on 3-9-19.

Fiction and nonfiction together gives a brilliant story. It is almost like a fantasy adventure.

I enjoyed reading this story and really, it deserves 6 stars but I have no more at this time.

My best wishes in the contest.

This was a good story. I liked the flow of it. The main character was believable and I could really sense the emotion in the piece. Nice job of writing and good luck in the contest.

This is well-written and you've used good description. The dialogue too suits the characters. You held my interest right to the end.

I did have a few suggestions:

large tracks of land - this should be 'large tracts'.

other peoples' sweat - the apostrophe goes after 'people' - people's sweat.

Cattle wander freely - cattle wandered freely

As looked at the mirror, - did you mean 'as I looked at the mirror'?

Good luck with the contest.

Thank you for sharing this story. I very much enjoyed reading it. I like the historical details you mix in to make the story realistic. Even though there are obvious fictional aspects to the story, your characters are believable. I would read a novel about the protagonist or his son having adventures and meeting companions to help them try to end the curse. Your diacríticos are not displaying right in your story. I don't know how to fix that.
