Thanks for sharing your story with us. I wasn't sure if the main character was being rebellious or not until the end of the story 😀

This is a good reminder! It is easy to be drawn into blame and victimhood. However, we all need to take responsibility by establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries.

"I've passed the test, and I be ready, Capt'n Dreemie! Arrrrrr!" Unfortunately I will not be able to attend PYPT, but I will play along as I am able. Thanks for the fun :)

Welcome to hive! I also am fairly new to the platform. We have several things in common. I spent my first five years in South Africa living in Roodeport. I taught piano for almost 30 years, enjoy oil painting,

Thanks for sharing your hive story with us! That’s amazing that you were able to pay for your surgery with your hive earnings. I just started on hive about a month ago and I’m still learning how to use

Thanks for your encouragement to continue with Heather and Jonathan's story. 😀

Thanks for sharing your reactions to my story. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had fun writing the story and have found that usually when I enjoy writing something my readers enjoy reading it.

Thanks for trying :)

Welcome! I just joined Hive about 3 weeks ago. I hope you feel as welcomed and encouraged as I do. Beautiful cakes!

Thank you so much Julia! That's cool that your daughter's name is Heather! Thanks for telling me what you appreciated about the story. Yes, new dads have it rough lol.

Thanks for your encouragement @deraaa and @juliamulcahy I'm glad you're looking forward to the next installments of the story.

Wow, you came up with great thoughts in five minutes! Well done.

My appointment with my client is from 12 pm - 1:30 pm EST...I'm assuming that is the same as the 90 minutes you were mentioning :(

Thank you for your sponsorship and for helping make this contest fun and fulfilling!

I am humbled. Thank you everyone!

Wow! What a shock to see my name in the top 6. 😮 You have all welcomed me so warmly to this community and the contest. Thank you!!!!

Thanks for sharing your story. I enjoyed the way you described the conflict...between the two friends and between the two armies. Of course I'm cheering for Freya and her army 😀

You do such a great job describing the confusion of the main character. It keeps us as readers guessing along with her, feeling the angst. Well done!

You've put a lot of time and energy into writing this story. Good for you! It sounds like Jane and the main character are great friends.
