The story had nice pacing, and the ending was nicely done.

I fixed the typo, sometimes my lack of literary knowledge stands out, I'm never 100% sure about the use of quotation-marks. :-DSteve Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414279461366098783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947555836132631506.post-88653099740332594712010-11-19T05:24:44.391+00:002010-11-19T05:24:44.391+00:00I'd have merely waved.

Being too theatrical around elephants is every bit as bad as forgetting the little details.<br /><br />Typo: fifth from last paragraph is missing the end-quotes. Though usually if the same speaker goes on, every paragraph until his final one would drop the end-quote.John Wiswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416044628686736927noreply@blogger.com
