It amazes me that you could think of something like a waving vine. If we had such a thing happen in real life, we would be frighten. Where did you get the ideas for your story? The pre-teens would love reading something like this....

Comment from Debbie Pope
Like the imps, I am ready for the "devining." Where do you come up with this stuff? This is one of your most creative chapters. It is graphic in its fantastic descriptions. I am as excited as Groundskeeper Nicholas to see where are we gonna go? You create high expectations over the new character to be devined. I look forward to it.

Comment from Stephen Force
Intriguing youthful, fanciful adventure. this is the first of the series that I've read. While it is not my cup of tea, it was excellently written. I immediately started visualizing the characters which speaks to me of your skill as a writer. nice going.

Oh, there's some characters in here alright! ;) So glad you stopped in for a 'peek' at the fun, Steve! ;) Have a fantastical day of your own out there! ;) Yvette
Comment from w.j.debi
Ooo, Devine Valentin sounds like it's going to be another interesting character. That the vine can wave and light up so dramatically is fantastic. I can't wait to see what other magical powers it may have.

Comment from Dawn Munro
"Then the coolest thing happened: the end of every stem - of every curl or tendril or leaf - began to actually 'wave' at me." Oh my, how vividly I pictured every word, but especially this!
I'm so sorry, Yvette -- I am letting you down (and me!), but I just can't manage physically --I simply can't be on site for long stretches of time anymore. I DO so love this story! I will try again to do some catching up...

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written chapter where Nicolas is introduced to the imps and they seem excited and accepting him as the Groundskeeper and will assist him wherever they can.

Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
I love all the magical action in your story! It's very captivating and entertaining, and I'm sure it will be very delightful to a young audience, as well. You have such a great imagination and I appreciate the way you've given it free reign in here, with these wonderful characters. The waving tendrils are a lovely touch!
And I must also say that as much as I enjoy helping to proofread stories from some of our friends, that sometimes it's also a pleasure to read a clean copy, straight through.

Hooray!! A fan of the crazy blonde's imagination - LOL!! ;) Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed, Mary Kay, and am looking forward to having you on-board, my lady!! ;) Yvette

You're very welcome, my "crazy blonde" lady! Not crazy at all, just oodles of fun, and if you publish, it will be a real treat for some youngsters. I know that the kid in me really loves it -- she's not hard to find ;-) Love and blessings, Mary Kay
Comment from Jasmine Girl
I love the luminescence vine whose tendrils can wave. It is like "Alice in Wonderland". I wrote about something like this in my "A Surrealistic Writing Class", too. The armadillo and the gnome are fun, too.
I want to read more now.
Well done.

Comment from RShipp
'...iridescent ripple that ran from their point of contact along all the arms and shoots of the vine that covered the wall...' (What a great way to 'turn-on-the-overhead-lamp'.)
Another plant 'DeVine' character for the story. Fun.
