Thanks. I'm happy you enjoyed it. I'm not sure how I missed your comment before. Maybe I had been away from the website for a while that summer. Thanks for reading and commenting!
-
I love your idea for a sort of treasure hunt. People don't often take the time to create fun and creative surprises for each other.
-
This is a beautiful story! It seems like the holidays cause people to reflect on their lives and what could have been. It made me think of the same two stories.
-
I have never seen a Christmas cracker but I can imagine it from your description. I wish we had them where I live. It was a clever way of passing a message. Great story!

I love the elves. Who knew a hat could cause so much excitement!
-
I loved this! Now I wonder if the fairy will return or go to another person's home.
-
A great holliday story!
-
That was fun to read. I hope you write a sequel.

I did not know anything about the Green Man or anything similar but I got a good sense for what kind of spirit he might be. The idea of trees sacrifiging a human was quite surprising. I love the detailed description of the location and the strange plants.

Merry Christmas!

jfalkon commented on jfalkon's story in 2017 - Fall - The Fallout and Secret Spaces
You're wellcome. I enjoyed it! -
I think I drew on my own experience here. There was a time in my life when I was quite paranoid and did not trust anyone. Luckily I was not being beaten and overworked. There were just too many little things going wrong all at once. To an extent I think it is normal not to trust the grownups when you are a kid but it can really work against you at times. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks! I guess I did gloss over a few things like how he knew his way back. Maybe I should have had a GPS app giving directions or a map on a screen. I didn't think about it untill you mentioned it, but there were quite a few things the parents didn't notice or didn't want to notice. Sometimes I feel like that is the way human interaction is heading. If something does not pop up on a screen we tend not to notice it.

Like everyone else I found this story interesting. I hope you write more about these characters. I have so many questions like how did this man-beast come to be? What will happen to them when they go on the run? Great job!

Happy Birthday!

This story focussed on one of the things I dread most, a slow decline due to a degenerative disease and yet I enjoyed reading it. I love the way you wove the past and the present together. Beautifuly written!
-
Happy Birthday! I hope it was a great one!

Thanks! Unfortunately the subject I picked isn't very cheerful but it was on my mind at the time so I decided to write about it. As for Brother Tom, I'm sure he will get what he deserves. I have heard that even convicts treat child abusers worse than the rest of the inmates. He will probably get his share of beatings etc.
-
Thanks! Sometimes I think I should make my characters a little more likable but I did want a character who has room for improvement.
-
Thank you!
-
Thanks for the comment! I wanted to give the story a few hopeful elements since I chose such a dark subject.
-
Thanks!

I was trying to create a sort of worst case but you are right about the prison camps. There are probably things going on there that I can't even imagine. I think Tom and Louis may find themselves in a prison of their own. I hear that even convicts look down on the child abusers among them,
-
I hope it wasn't too depressing. Sometimes my mind gets stuck on some dark subjects.
-
I did not see that ending coming but it makes perfect sense. You can't fix someone elses bad habits no matter how much you want to. Great story!
