Hi Nor, I notice this is a contest entry, so good luck! I enjoyed reading your story, which moved at a good pace, keeping the reader involved and it certainly met the requirements for the comp. I didn' t notice anything technically wrong as i read through, spelling and grammar looking good. Thanks for sharing your writing, which i would recommend to other readers for review, cheers, rebekah

Thanks, rebekah. I always appreciate your reviews. All the spags were fixed before you saw this. Somehow, the Fanstory computer made about half the story italics! Ugh.

Yikes! You scared the bejeebers out of me when she thought she saw Hansel's eyes gleaming yellow! You did an amazing job creating this creepy, gloomy atmosphere. The bit of German you used, helped make this all the more convincing.
Really well done, Norma!!

Thanks, Marj. I didn't think I was ever going to get the thing written. Got reading the legends of the black forest, and finally just narrowed it down to werewolves. There's a legend about ghostly monks who terrorized villages until a saintly monk came along and put the ghosts in bags and threw them into the sea. Supposed to be a haunted castle, and the Dwarves, well they are supposed to help people who are being pursued by witches, etc., by hiding them in a secret cave. I spent the night there, in a hotel. Woke to rain and a bird singing beautifully (an Amsel -- a blackbird.) Very romantic, and not at all spooky.

Fantastic! Maybe next time around, you can use that 'romantic' feeling in a story!
