 | It Happened One Night  [E] strange encounter in a cabin  |
| (4.5)| Hi AmyJo- only 2 steps behind - ,  This review was written on behalf of House Targaryen as part of "Game of Thrones" ! Disclaimer The views and opinions on this review are mainly the things discovered by the reader and therefore, do not reflect necessarily to the group, activity and/or event being affiliated herein. This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise. What I liked:  Oh, dear. I decided to read and review this piece because I was intrigued by the brief description. I thought it said, "storage encounter" and I couldn't fathom what that might be  Of course, I see now it says "strange encounter" and that makes so much more sense! But, onto the story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Your humour really appealed to me. When the narrator is first stranded, and she thinks of heading for an abandoned cabin she saw a little while ago, I thought maybe there might be something, or someone, unpleasant in the cabin. I also worried for the narrator when she fell asleep in the old rocking chair. I was sure something would happen to her. Which, of course, it did. But not something horrible. Something rather lovely. This story really made me remember my precious dog, Alfie, who we lost last May. I have missed having a dog so much, but my hubby point blank refuses. But, this story reminded me of how funny they are, how loving. This part, in particular, made me yearn: "I felt a warm tongue on my hand." That made me smile. That has to be one of life's greatest pleasures. This talking dog is clever in so many ways. He knew how to make the breakdown truck stop to help the narrator. He can talk. I mean, come on. That is so cool. I thought it would all be a dream, especially when the dog had disappeared when she awoke the second time. But he was real. He'd gone to get help. Suggestions: Just a couple of things. Firstly, "Shaking my head, I just pet the dog's head." I would get rid of the two uses of "head" by saying, "I just pet the dog." Also, "without cloud in the sky." I would think it should be "without a cloud." Parting comments: I have to admit, I'm envious of the person in this story. Okay, so her car gets stuck in a drift, and she has to "hoof" it to the cabin. But, just look at the wonderful rewards she receives for this: a walking, talking, genuinely real dog! Love it! Choconut   My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
