All Comments on 'The Invitation - A Halloween Story'

Thank You I did enjoy your story.

A very nice story. Completely appropriate for Halloween. Two minor quibbles for future reference only. First, "Esquire" is a title traditionally used in reference to English gentlemen who are not otherwise titled. However, in the U.S. and Canada, it's pretty much used exclusively (and ostentatiously) in connection with attorneys. So unless your story takes place in the UK, or unless Gerald is an attorney, the use of "Esquire" was inappropriate.

The use of the title "Master" is also used in Britain to designate someone with a household staff. In the U.S, it's used as a means of addressing young boys who are not old enough to be called, "Mister." That too seems inappropriate in the context of this story.

But, as I said, minor quibbles. An otherwise nicely written piece.

Not quite as grand as your other halloween story, but that would be a hard one to beat anyway. Still pretty good though, and I enjoyed it. Thanks.

I thought the story was quite well written and the title issue did not bother me.

A true classic!

That was beautiful!! I absolutely loved it! Good luck & keep writing!

Weird, but Intriguing, story. Well worth reading.

Fun Theme

Ignore the Esquire twadle. It added to the mystery.

It's too bad gggrampa couldn't go back for his own honeymoon.

5* as usual.

"Esquire" fits well, simply because the one using it is, in fact, British.

You're probably not around anymore, but just in case you are, I want to thank you for a VERY enjoyable (and different) Story. This is one I will be rereading over and over again.
