Joes mind is totally incoherent, but makes total sense in how everything comes together. Totally logical!

I know you won’t see this response because you weren’t signed in when you reviewed, but, just in case…I want to thank you for seeing the “sense” in his wanderings through delirium. 🙂

Interesting story, Freya. Reminds me of the dream sequence in Bushwacked. Well done.

Thank you!! 🙂
Wonderful story…love how you told it using Joe’s muddled thoughts and all the imagery…thanks!
I really enjoyed this story! The unique perspective made the story flow perfectly. Plus it was fun to get inside Joe’s head!
Freyakendra,
I love the fevered rambling thoughts of Joe as he feels the love of his family and that God’s hands are there. Thank you for this unique look at how images described represent something greater and more poignant. Thank you for your gift of writing!
To read this story once and once again, it’s never, ever enough. It’s a stunningly heart touching and so emotional story. One of those I never won’t tired to read and read and read. Joe’s hat, the grizzly….OMG what a kind of beautiful story. The love of the family is so real and wonderful. Thank you, Freyakendra. Thank you!!!
I loved the story, but tell me, what was the “rumbling” Joe heard?
Thanks!
Absolutely fantastic story! I loved the rambling thought process Joe experienced and yet it all fit together into a picture. The grizzly was a terrific representation of what Joe was feeling and thinking.
Another great story from you!
Amazing!
In God s hands!
Bravo!
Thank you! 😊
Funny the things one remembers. For me, it’s the image of Joe’s hat, skipping across the water, recalled so vividly that I’m sure I’ve read this before. It’s wonderfully well put together, an excellent portrayal of a fevered mind, which makes a unique, but effective narrator.
I’m glad theimage of the hat stayed with you! It was vivid in my head when I wrote it; so I guess I call that a success! 😊
The narration was quite a challenge. I often had to rewrite scenes when I discovered I’d accidentally shifted POV. I’m so glad you found it to work well!
Thank you!!
Awwww, this was a wonderful story. So bittersweet… but so lovely! Well done!
Second time through this one as well. Just as good as before. Love the imagery of the grizzly and the conclusion by Joe that he’s been in God’s hands all along.
