A wonderful story with a classic touch! The flow, the ending - everything is perfectly woven…Congrats.

How lovely of you to go to the trouble of telling me you enjoyed it. Thank you so much. Head in the clouds, now.

Excellent! There is underlying tension throughout the whole story - one just “feels” something is bound to happen and when it does - it shocks you out of your mind! I’ll definitely read all your stories.

Intriguing story - seemed toward the end that the painting of the canvas was mirroring the telling of the story. But the ending seems more moralistic than realistic.

Hi stokeycat
thanks for comments.

I didn’t mean the ending to be either - rather pose a spooky question about the power of the mind - did he paint it? or *something* alter it?
LOL

Like the picture of Dorian Grey (sp?), kinda…?

Thanks for reading J

Yes, sort of. lol

- Maybe on day I’ll be as rich and famous the author of that - well, I can dream can’t I? :¬)
