Really excellent and enjoyable. The narrator's slow realization of her true self, which might lag behind that of a clever reader, was powerfully told. I would certainly say this story would warrant a prize.

    Well, JW, it didn't win, but she pulled in a second...LOL! ;) But I am so very grateful for your awesome, encouraging review and those lovely stars!! ;) This was one of those that almost 'wrote' itself once the words started flowing onto the computer screen... it's times like that that i just let the muses run and I loose the reins!! ;) :) I'm sorry I'm a bit behind on my responses, but first week back from the Break has the teacher playing a little catch up!! ;) :) Take care out there and thank you again! ;) Yvette

Wow, interesting story. Well developed. It's dreadful to see all the suffering and despair that the chaotic storm spilled upon everyone. I found no grammatical errors. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.

"The Wind is but the Messanger'
Was well written and rich in Theme and Imagery.

It read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues as well.

Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts through your story. I enjoyed reading it very much. It left me very sad in the beginning until I realized you (your main character) were the messenger for passage. Nicely done.

I thought this was well-written as far as all the elements go for Christian fantasy (or at least, that is what I read into it). I thought it would also have been just as interesting if it were only about rescuing a sea turtle following a storm. The shipwreck was interesting because it seemed there was a woman on board a ship, when traditionally it would have been mostly men. I guess a little more information would help the reader know if it was a modern ship or not. It feels like Chaos is an angel of death, but a very specific kind of natural calamity meant to 'heal them home,' according to the Father mentioned several times in the story. Intriguing entry!

    Wow, Crystie!! Your review here is such a wonderfully in-depth one and I'm so very glad you enjoyed it!! ;) It was one of those pieces that kindof just happened as the words flowed onto the screen....not what i had set out to do, but I just follow the muses when they take over like that!! ;) :) Those stars are so very appreciated and I do so apologize for my tardiness in response... life's been a bit nutty for the blonde over here!! ;) ;) Take care of you out there and have a wonderful week! ;) Yvette
