Fantastic! This is a nailbiter and one that just gripped me from beginning to end. Congratulations on your win that had somehow escaped me. I'll give you my own little prize today with six stars and my highest compliments. Well done, my sweet friend.
Sending my best today as always, and blessings for your day,

Congratulations on winning the contest. It was certainly well-deserved. You packed some great imagination into this story. I just found it amazing how quickly your character worked out what super powers she had been given -fantastic!

Thanks so much, lady Yvette, for your beautiful review. I appreciate your thoughtful comments very much. May God bless you and keep you well.
I hope you are enjoying your new environment, since you've moved, and that it's still a place where you can enjoy nature.
Love, Mary Kay xoxo

Pffft... haven't moved yet: husband still hasn't finished his $%#@$# garage!! Sigh. Thanx for keeping me in mind, though, my lady!! ;) Yvette

Sorry to hear that, but I hope you enjoy your idyllic surroundings a little longer, while you still can!
I can't find fault with your husband, since both Jorge and I are both procrastinators, when it comes to unpleasant tasks. I hope you can move before the cold weather sets in, when a little less exposure (?) might be a good thing. - Mary Kay xoxo
Comment from Liz O'Neill
This account has more substance than many stories do not. There are some ethical questions the reader is invited to contemplate. Interesting, even though you knew the future, your warning didn't make any difference to people. I'm reading about the Hopi prophesies. They had predictions given to them a couple hundred years ago and have tried to warn the non Native people. No one will listen which is why we are finding ourselves in these apocolyptic times.

Thank you, Liz, for your great review! Yes, time travel fantasies often pose both interesting conundrums as well as ethical questions. That is often an issue about having future knowledge in a science fiction scenario -- lack of trust on the part of others; the same holds for other prophecies that may be more consistent with reason. I have often fervently wished I could go back before 9/11 and warn people, but believability would be a huge issue.
Yes, you could say that we are living in apocalyptic times. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this matter. May God keep you and your loved ones safe. Love, Mary Kay xoxo
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
A very well written story. The changes to your body and your extra super powers were very logically explained. The insight into Covid19 was remarkable and wouldn't it have been great if it had happened that way.
Nicely crafted Mary Kay, good luck. This is a good contender.

Thank you so much, Ralf, for your excellent review! Yes, it would have been great if I could have gone back in time and made a difference to some people -- and having a younger, healthier body would have certainly been awesome, as well! I appreciate your thoughtful comments very much. May God bless you, my friend. Love, Mary Kay xoxo
Comment from Dena Brenner
I was very engaged in this story from the beginning. Right on target to the writing prompt for this contest.
I liked that you used current events - who hasn't had the thought that we would love to go back in time and warn people about Covid? Completely relatable.

Comment from damommy
Wow! What a story. A lot passed by on her time travel trip. I wonder if this power will be with her at a future time. Meanwhile, she has to deal with the authorities. Maybe another story from this? Hint, hint.

I don't know how to respond because I already read Helen's poem in her book of prayers, and I am so very sorry for your loss, Yvonne. It must have happened shortly after you wrote this review... which I thank you for, very much. I am praying for you, my friend. May God be your great comfort, for you and your family, it is hard to say anything more to help at a time like this. May God give you strength and ease your pain, dear lady.

Don't know if this a true story or not but you captured my attention from the first word to the last
I must say there wasn't dull moment in your story.
Thank you for sharing

Thank you for the beautiful review, Cookie! No, it's not a true story, though I kind of wish it was. It is a lot of fantasy -- for one thing, I don't know how to drive, and have never owned a car!
I am glad you enjoyed it. God bless you and may you and your family stay safe.
Love, Mary Kay xoxo
