Greetings and Happy Account Anniversary!

Wow, what a story. Harsh and painful and yet we see the young Frenchman survive, bearing those English boys forever in his memory. The sacrifice and the bonds formed lasted a lifetime and left both the narrator and the reader with a vivid impact. The action is tense and keeps us reading breathlessly to the end. I like the historical setting and the use of specific true events as the backdrop for a timeless war story. It’s amazing how they saved each other in so many ways; you’ve built a finely woven tale that won’t soon be forgotten.

I know this is a question that’s difficult to answer after so many years, but is the cover picture the one that was used as the Short Shots prompt? It hardly matters, but I like knowing what the prompt was. Congrats on the well deserved first place win. The font is large and clear, and I don’t have much to suggest. Perhaps instead of the third genre being “Writing.com” it should be “Action/adventure,” since that seems more relevant to the theme. Also, the scene dividers should be centered. Also a couple of super minor typos:

~ quotation mark left off the end of “Can you get Owen and me inside?
~ I paused and now I can’t find the other one *Laugh* don’t worry, it was negligible.

Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing *Smile* *HeartT*
