I loved reading your story Nevada. It is so well written.I can see why your family found it funny to watch but I wouldn't have wanted to be in your shoes. A great entry for the competition. Good luck and best wishes. Jen.

Man that kookaburra really had it out for you. On the upside of your family just laughing about it, you have a great and funny story to tell. Or write about for a contest. Also best of luck on the contest.
Keep writing:)

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
I don't know about such an animal, but humor is universal. I thought you established and built up your story well. You kept the big surprise toward the end, which was skillful of you and it was fun to read. Your image was very good and supported your story. Best wishes!

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Great story. Well done.
Excellent touch, sneaking 'Pallas' in there early on.
laughing nearly as hard as my family. - I've been criticized for leaving off as my family 'was', or 'had been', or some such. But I prefer the way you did it.
Best wishes.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
Yes, this was as personal as an attack could possibly be! That rascal singled you out --as in, "Who's the perfect shill here?" He'd been watching awhile, you mentioned, and calculating.
Taking it out of your mouth, though. That was not just brutal, but humiliating. That feels like the kookaburra equivalent of "Who's yo' DADDY!"
Sorry it happened, but maybe it'll win you a FS contest. That would be a pretty good trade-off maybe. xoxo

"The kookaburra equivalent of "Who's yo' DADDY!" HA! That's not a sentence I expected to read this morning! :) Thanks so much for the positive feedback as always.

Hahaha. I'm nothing in this life if not vivid with my words, Navada! xo

I can understand that you were eating a sausage and suddenly it was gone. The bird seems to snatch it from your mouth and eat it for you. Is this a scientific fiction story?

Oh gosh, really a kookaburra.... yikes... I am surprised that your entire family did not rush indoors... I think I would have.
I really loved your story and authors notes...

Comment from Wendy G
I knew it would be one of those thieving rascals, but I loved the way you wrote this story, loved your shock, loved your family's reactions. Took it right from your mouth! Too close for comfort. Maybe shelter under an umbrella next time. Lol. Your family might think you're crazy, but t least you will be able to enjoy your snake (sorry, sausage!) in peace. Best wishes for the contest.

I most enjoyed the way you incorporated characteristics and traits of the kookaburra into your story. They are aggressive predators that swoop down to catch their prey. They also laugh.
You did an excellent job building suspense and mystery as your story began. You included detailed and realistic descriptions. Your story is well written. Best wishes in the contest.
