RE: Forever. [a fantasy short story]

in #fiction7 years ago

When my brother first showed me the subject matter for this contest, I thought, "what a difficult contest!" I had a similar idea about a child dreaming but you took it to a level that evoked emotion. I felt sadness but relief for Lily. It also made me feel young for a minute like I was 12 again. I like how we are reminded that life can be fickle sometimes. I got goosebumps near the end because I almost knew what was coming. I think you did a fantastic job with this one! Kudos.

Thanks much! It is a difficult image, since fantasy has no 'rules', and that image is definitely fantasy. Sometimes lack of rules is harder than having the photo give you some limits.

Are you going to start getting involved in some of these writing contests, perhaps? :)
