This was a great opening to a book! Hope you are still writing it, Rod!
I really liked this description: " Port Angeles to Victoria. Cracked in half like an Alaskan crab leg, it lay amidst the ponderosas." It helped me place the scene geographically and these specifics made it come alive for me.
Congratulations again on the win!!

I am so delighted you enjoyed my hook, lyenochka. Unfortunately, I have shelved it as I work on other projects. Your congrats are much appreciated.

Comment from Cecilia R
Your opening hook for the story was very riveting. The actions felt real leaving one to wonder what came next. You have a good command of both creative writing and language. I hope you will publish some of those books you hold.

Comment from Rena Smith
The poet did a great job writing this story and this hooked me. I would be very interested in knowing what would happen next. Is that person going to be alright or would he survive would be some questions I would like to know. I love suspense stories and I think this poet hit the nail on the head.

I appreciate your encouragement, Tom. I do hope to post the whole story someday.
Comment from Wendy G
Yes, this does sound interesting! Your last paragraph line is the most dramatic. What if you just put that, for the contest? (And then filled in the back story later in a separate post?) Some of the entries are quite short, just enough to compel one to say "Tell me more!" Just a thought .... I do want to hear more, so I hope you will post more. Best wishes for your entry.

Thank you, Wendy, for your suggestion. I am delighted you found my hook interesting. I enjoy setting the reader up (pardon the pun).
Comment from LisaMay
This certainly got my attention! I've just returned from hiking in a wilderness area with the occasional small plane going overhead, so the scenario is believable. You've set the scene vividly and captured suspense in this dramatic situation... it made me want to know what happened next.
I liked this imagery: "Cracked in half like an Alaskan crab leg..."

Thank you so much for your marvelous review, Lisa. Glad I got you hooked.
Comment from LJbutterfly
I'm hooked. A twitching arm means someone is half alive. What will Jake do? The opening statement is compelling and the story is well written with enough detail to be able to visualize the scene. This is a story that begs to be written. Best wishes in the contest.

This is a well written story. Yes, the beginning does hook you. The rest of the story does not let up. There is continuing drama though out. The picture compliments the story. You definitely followed the writing prompt. Very nice job.
