Hello livelylinda,
What a MARVELOUS piece of Commentary and Philosophy Fiction this is!
It has an impressive as well as perfectly matching the theme wording, meets the required norms, and beautifully depicts its theme 'especially the character of Charlie'.
Smooth, spontaneous, and highly captivating flow throughout from the beginning to the end.
SUPERB!

    This got me an 8th place of 12 contest entrants. Most people didn't like the fact that Charlie was a girl. Interesting. Thanks for your accolades and shiny six stars. Linda

A powerful story and a cautionary tale for young girls but also their families.
A somber story to be sure. Very well written Linda.

Blessings

Although this was a fictional story, unfortunately this probably true of some young girl who became victims. Beautifully written friend Linda, I admired this departure from happy, and although I love happy endings, I also like imaginative stories, and this was one of those. An excellent entry Linda, good luck, blessings Roy

You paint a scary scenario that is all to true for so many naïve young girls (and guys) be it New York or Anytown. Your lines flow well with good descriptions of farm life and living in a small town. Thanks for sharing a great message that sadly will come too late for many. Respectfully, Jan

This was beautiful and well-written. Your characterization of Charlie showed that she was a fighter, ready to put the world on fire. I enjoyed the ending and wish you the very best in your writing skills.

Nicely done. A very trite story that plays out day after day, regarding a small town girl's dreams. Yet the assumption at the end gives it a very scary scenario that everyone dreads.

I enjoyed reading your story inspired by only one line. You succeeded in creating an interesting character in Charlie, then continued by piquing my curiosity to find out where she went, and how her life turned out. In my opinion, the fact that you used the first line woven into the last was the strongest part of this story. Good job.

Susan

Oh! A really sad ending especially considering the hopes and dreams of Charlie! Everything that she had aspired to become and tried to get was perhaps no match for her naivety! Best wishes for the contest!
