Hello Temperance Stone Author Icon

I found this item on "The Shameless "Plug" Page" Open in new Window.

First impression:

The title is very sober and simple. In a good way. I like things that are straightforward. The intro line hints at a possible continuation.

What works:

The ending was sweet and that's where it hints at a part two to this little saga. The "Normal. Happy. Healthy" mantra is repeated to good effect throughout the story.

What needs work:

You could add a thumbnail picture from the vast library of images that The StoryMistress has made available for us.

she is smiling at her hands. She is clutching *Right* Abrupt switch in tense here. Where it says is, it should say was.

She begins to giggle uncontrollably. *Right* The underlined word here also needs to get the tense fixed.

"Critter shack" *Right* Shack needs a capital first letter since it's a name.

Final thoughts:

I am not sure if I overlooked it, but does "she" have a name? Her pronoun is in the story very often, but I can't find a name for her. At the end, the one man gets to be Mike. Now Mike is a pretty common name, but why not give her a name and if there is one, use it a few times so that the reader has something to hold on to?
