RE: LER: Finish the Story Contest - WEEK #16
Your idea is very particular and unexpected. I enjoyed Cornelius' cat and mouse game and the idea of the bed split at the edge. It gives the perfect idea of a mystical symbolic language, really suiting the story setting. Congrats, this is the originality that this contest looks for!
Your kind words are appreciated!
The line about the bed splitting apart comes from the I Ching. I wanted to include it somehow with Dowser because yin/yang can (and was used historically) translate as no/yes.
I wanted to get back Elissa but it didn't work out with the 500 word limit. I took out tons of sentences to get it down to the 500 word limit.
Yes I know.. 500 is not easy (but possible) and I appreciate your effort. The aim is to give relevance to the idea/plot plus make it feasible for everyone to read the several contributions. I'm glad I asked you couse this I Ching concept is fascinating.
I'm not complaining. 500 words is a lot! Trimming the fat made this better anyhow.
