Dear Kwadwo,
I love the dialogue. The side of the drum…But alas, you’ve kept me breathlessly hanging on for another week. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks for the positive feedback, Rochelle.
A little patience and we’ll all get to know how the story ends.
See you next week. 🙂
Humm…. very curious now. Great job.
Thanks.Hope you enjoy next week’s submission.
You’ve created a powerful hook in your story, to bring us back week after week. Well done!
Thanks, Penny. See you next week.
Lively entertaining dialogue. The cock crows at morning but the hen also knows it is dawn. Great.
Thanks Jilly 🙂
The side of a drum. . . . .I like that. But my fingertips are getting sore from hanging on to the cliff week after week 🙂
I know, I know. The story is unfolding a little at a time.
Please be patient. Hang in there Linda. 🙂
Such great dialogue.
Why, thank you Lisarey.
You are truly keeping us hooked, Kwadwo. Normally, some of us are not fans of stories that go on from one week to another but this one – I await with bated breath for the next instalment!
Thanks Dale. I’m glad this story meets your approval.
A little patience, a little trust and all will be revealed.
See you same time next week.
