Oh, I both love and hate this! I love this story but hate that you left so much unanswered! Too much to hope that you will continue this...? :)

Oh I love this... magically surprising. I wish there were more to read.

Ha - very clever! Love it. I totally want to see what's in the basement!

I like the mythic qualities to this. An enjoyable read.

2010-08-01T18:01:01.789+01:00

I'm seeing what others are seeing with a good versus evil sentiment, but it works equally well as just a kind of magical realism or light-hearted fantasy situation. This could go places if you want or you can leave it as this, up to you! Very fun.

2010-08-01T15:55:32.780+01:00

Very cool, but I want more. I want to know what happens when she sticks her finger in. Tidal wave in China perhaps?
Nicely done

Charming and fun. Traffic sounds and mist-wow, some model. Grandpas and uncles are always up to something interesting. Now I want to see the basement.

Hehe I loved it as all the clues fell into place, so much fun!

I'm so glad everyone liked it! You never know, maybe it'll end up being part of something larger.

Great job of pulling the reader in. I saw everything like I was standing right there. Very cool story!

2010-07-31T16:36:08.696+01:00

Excellent feel to this one. So many unanswered questions, but the narrative is so good that it doesn't matter that we don't know. Good story!

2010-07-31T13:46:21.573+01:00

Wow! You've fed us just enough here, Icy, to have us wanting more. It's the opening for a grand any mysterious novel...great work.

2010-07-31T13:19:21.777+01:00

I wonder what Uncle Lou has at the basement. *shudders*

As Sam, I want more! This is way much better than Evey finding a birthday present, heh.

2010-07-31T08:53:02.272+01:00

Enchantments abound. The bit about Uncle Lou's model in the basement really jumped off the page and fired my imagination. You've left it with so many possibilities to follow up on ... or not.

Wonderful! I want to read more.

2010-07-31T05:08:19.921+01:00

Wonderful! I want to read more.

I love this! I'm just dying to know more, especially about the basement. :)

2010-07-31T03:17:26.030+01:00

I love your take on this prompt! A great, mind-stretching story. I did something just vaguely similar with an earlier prompt, where the sun doesn't rise as it should with the dawn. I enjoyed it very much.

2010-07-31T00:56:26.843+01:00

Love the flow and style, very easy reading. There is a lot of charm in it, and perhaps a parable? I'm just glad she didn't pick a tiny little apple off a miniature apple tree.

2010-07-30T23:54:53.400+01:00

I was imagining Grandpa and Uncle Lou as more metaphysical representations of mythological deities (Zeus and Hephaestus). Or Slartibartfast from Hitchhikers.
But, I am so jealous of such a cool idea for this story. So well done.

@Keith - You can seek a deeper meaning if you want! I just hope you enjoy it. :-)

This is great. Should I be seeking a deeper meaning? I wonder what happens next.

Curious. I'm left hanging. It's okay. I like surprise endings. :)

2010-07-30T18:43:33.341+01:00

I so love this story, Icy. And Grandad is a great character. I'd love to see what Uncle Lou's got going on in the basement.

Excellent writing as always, and just a great story.
