You are such a fascinating person, Evelyn. You never told me that you wrote stories! Surely a work such as this is better than much poetry? Beautiful work, even though it isn’t very recent! :) Don’t loose hope; graduation is just around the corner! God bless you in college! All the best, - Your Friendly Hobbit

I enjoyed it. Very impressive for your age.

Evelyn, I liked the story it was kind of scary for a second grader and a kindergartener. Congratulations for winning second place and you looked very pretty!
