In these blogfests, when we are trying to read so many stories at once, it is difficult to concentrate and really read a story. Mine is meant to be read a few times as the first time you are zooming through trying to see what happens (I hope) but it needs a few reads to pick up the clues, as you discovered. <br /><br />I am so glad I have communicated through this story (at least to one person!) It is gratifying that someone really got it.<br /><br />It is based on an unsolved crime that took place when I was nearby. It was actually 3 children who were taken, not 1, so it is much worse than my story. I will never forget, of course..:) And I hope it is solved one day, even after all these years...Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-63937249324451293072010-07-23T04:45:18.337+10:002010-07-23T04:45:18.337+10:00Ok, I'm back again.

It makes perfect sense.<br /><br />I understand on first read it's confusing, but like a movie, you catch things the second or third go around.<br /><br />You've left wonderful context clues, so anyone with half a brain should understand what you're story is about.<br /><br />It still haunts me now and makes me so sad for the dad. Great job--you have me hooked!<br /><br />(I want to know about the behind the scenes!)Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028099814857743134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-45089941216451699042010-07-22T12:06:10.629+10:002010-07-22T12:06:10.629+10:00Yeah, Elizabeth, I prefer haunting to creepy, but ...Yeah, Elizabeth, I prefer haunting to creepy, but on first read it's easy to say creepy.
