Elsbeth had it all – at least the kids from Central Square, South Carolina, thought so. After someone in that seedy neighborhood of Charleston targeted Elsbeth’s thick, brown pate using a slingshot and an unopened canned Fresca, her driver was forbidden to take her anywhere near that part of town. The vivid scar on her right temple continuously reminded the family matriarch to warn the girl about that target on her back....
Outstanding reviews
My goodness, what an engrossing and quality first submission Elizabeth! You pulled me right in and kept me engaged throughout. There was a lot of good imagery and a broad vocabulary that didn’t detract from the story, but gave it a unique voice for the time period it was set in. Well done!My favorite line: “Her former self was a cicada clinging to a pine tree, stuck halfway through that crunchy shell.”Welcome to Reedsy. :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. Your feedback means so much. I am a retired teacher so I’ve given feedback to literally thousands of elementary aged children. As an adult writer, I’ve received none - especially with fiction. I’ve written a memoir plus so many essays in creative nonfiction. This was my first adult attempt at fiction - a great exercise in going outside the box. Again, thank you!
You can tell you are well versed in what makes a good story. Keep it up! I look forward to reading more from you. :) best of luck this week.
