They’ve given you a number and taken away your name.
They will never take away you keen sense of the story. You generosity of sharing your gift with us. Fight the good fight and tell the story.
It really kind of dragged on and ended very anti-climatically. This is the first story I have read from Calibeachgirl and I will try out a few others.
Your Mary character really seemed to have some serious underlying issues or character flaws resulting from the death of her 1st husband. Her breaking down at the Cemetary showed she really hadn't gotten over him and probably never will. That would be crushing for any spouse to have to deal with as you are always competing with a Ghost who the wife is only remembering the "Good Things" in their relationship. She probably should have gotten some professional help to deal with her loss.
The only problems I had with this story was how it dragged on and how most things didn't seem to tie into the story at all. The last 4 or 5 pages were kind of boring and when you thought it would lead to some sort of plotline, it didn't.
The first few paragraphs and the last few paragraphs dealt with Jim’s life as an FBI agent, secret or not. The remainder of the eight pages of the story primarily concerned high school classes, extra-curricular activities, and what’s for breakfast/ lunch/ dinner. Okay, maybe a couple of other things, but it was basically seven and a half pages of a day in the life of a high school biology teacher, over and over again. Not really something to hold my interest long but I fought through it hoping for a good payoff at the end. Oh well. Oh, and whatever became of Amy Chin, the school librarian who mysteriously disappeared the day before school started? Now that’s a dangling participle of its own.
Started out ok, then seemed to go nowhere. I found it ironic that right after teaching about how deadly bacteria can be, he goes to a buffet for dinner. He didn’t seem to care about his students. He didn’t help the “lost boys circling the drain” even knowing that one of them came from a crappy father. He just wanted them to pay for what they did.
Seriously, your stories get worse as you read them!!
Pages and pages of drivel!!
Why bother with the 2 young losers who robbed a diner around 530am!!
What happened to the Chinese librarian Amy who just disappeared adter his first day!!!
The new slut librarian didn't waste time getting her claws on him!!
Overall, it was a waste of time reading this story
