All Comments on 'The Stranger'

Exquisite. Thank you.

"wreaked havoc", not "wreathed havoc".

A very sweet story which, with a few tweaks to tighten up the ending and catch all the tiny errors could easily be sold to a women's magazine. Good luck with your writing.

Thanks for the kind comments. I know there were a few errors and I do apologise - the story was one I wrote in a single sitting, without pause for thought. It almost wrote itself, really. I ought to have corrected it more thoroughly.

I don't fill up to many stories - but I did to this one.

Very cool. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for sharing.

Pleasant flowing and intelligent writing. Thanks.

Nice ideas and even better words. We really feel for Emma even though very little information was given to us. Thanks

This story hit me on so many levels. Emma reminded me of my late sister; similar tragic happenstance, but there was no angel-of-the-night to save her when she swallowed the pills. I guess the miracle was that her baby survived, and as his uncle, I look to the day that he'll grow up and do his late mother proud. Again, thank you for writing this and posting, in a way you brought my sister's memory to life.

Nothing else needs to be said.

Thanks for sharing. Wow Thanks again!!!!!!!!

Gale82 is a much better writer than her scores would indicate. Nice O Henry plot twist at the end but we could see it coming. Well done and I hope to read more from you.

I still hate cheaters, though

R.I.P.
