I was confused as to what was happening for the first few paragraphs. Until the dialogue started (which was engrossing) I had trouble following the sequence of events. Watching the fire, seeing a flash of light, being attacked, then being under wrapped in a veil of water. I had to re-read in order to follow what was happening. I can see it being used to show Delbar's disorientation, but it made it hard to read. <br />The rest, the conversation, the clear display of cultural values (shown very well), then the final unexpected and very creepy ending, was excellent.Erin Kane Spockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376851676240606472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-12906280460422663382012-10-27T11:05:54.126+10:002012-10-27T11:05:54.126+10:00Thanks nutschell!Thanks nutschell!Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-92002690281296659472012-10-27T03:48:36.019+10:002012-10-27T03:48:36.019+10:00Love the imagery and the emotions you've wrang...Love the imagery and the emotions you've wrangled out of me. great piece!<br />Nutschell<br />www.thewritingnut.comnutschellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967710710805174781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-6811297728974279512012-10-25T03:15:25.388+10:002012-10-25T03:15:25.388+10:00Such an intense, scary piece of writing!

I did find a few typos, but minor and nothing more. LOVED the tension, imagery, and premise. <br /><br />I really enjoy your cultural pieces.

I can see your point as you haven't lived with the story as long as I have - but remember he was trying to pass himself off as 'good', not 'evil' so he's not going to appear as a black evil looking fellow. He changes to black after he exposes himself. <br />Thank you for your considered comment...DDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-54943705922987238442012-10-21T10:43:03.680+10:002012-10-21T10:43:03.680+10:00Hi Denise

Your excerpt grabbed me by the throat...Wow, Denise. Your excerpt grabbed me by the throat. I love these few lines: "She struggled to see her assailant through the dark shadows…she saw no one…then…a kaleidoscope of color swirled at the top of the staircase. It spilled onto the stairs like molten metal tipped from a cauldron. Colored shadows glinted as the liquid dripped downwards, then puddled at the bottom of the stairs." "molten metal tipped from a cauldron," superb!!<br /><br />I think the premise of your ghost story is wonderful. The creep factor is fabulous! <br /><br />There was only one small detail that made me do a double-take. The mention of the *white* light appearing in the room. I took this line as the entry of the evilness, am I correct? If so, if it were me, I'd consider changing the color to a more ominous shade / hue. I've always considered white to be holy, protective, and safe. Gray, black, deep reds, greens, foul yellows, these I associate with darkness. Does that make sense? <br /><br />Unless I completely misread that line. As the white light could've been Alam's spirit warning her of the evil to come??<br /><br />Oh, I wish you all the best with your submissions. :)))Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691497935668743387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-31007061193162270682012-10-21T01:02:21.810+10:002012-10-21T01:02:21.810+10:00Hi,
