This is such a beautifully decorated story. Beguiling is the word I think, in the way the telling of it transcends the plot. Wonderful.

 

Intriguing, addictive, warming, charming and thoroughly enjoyable.

It isn't difficult to see why the author has taken the title three times, and I can say that this is a serious contender for a fourth.

Exceptionally well written, with only a few small errors (if one nit-picks), this story takes one through a story of hope, yet causes the reader to wonder if there is going to be an alternative to the eventual outcome that's expected.

The sex scene is wonderful, and I found myself pleasantly surprised at how forward Eve transpired to be. She's my kind of girl.

The most impressive thing of all, though, was the twist at the end - just when the story had all but finished. There's a certain amount of genius in that. :rose:

 

Oh, I love that word - bequiling. Thank you, gymgirl.

Me4, you leave me speechless. Thank you.:rose:

 

Christmas in the city....

 

Ejls you're amazing in the most frustrating of ways... seriously!? that story in that short of time. Your talent is infuriating.
It's a beautiful story. I knew it would be from you before I read it but it doesn't disappoint.

 

Thank you, Redlust. I honestly thought I would have to sit this CAW out. It was a scary few weeks with nothing in my head. I hope none of the writers here, ever go through that.

 

I think a lot of us have, more than once. When we recover from a writing slump, we manage to churn out something new. When you recover, you dazzle everyone.

 

A tear in my eye, and a smile on my face after reading that.

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

I hadn't figured Granny out, so the end was all the more magical for that. Bravo Ejls, all the more astonishing that it was done in a week.

A worthy contender for the top spot? I think so.

 

Thank you Jayney - Everyone's entries have truly made this a magical holiday season.

 

I think this is close to my vision of Eve

 

No wonder Miguel thought he was seeing an angel!





Dammit! Now I have to check my blood pressure again.

 

This is not Miguel - just some Christmas candy.

 

First Scarlett Johansson and now this? Way to pander to the female, bi, and gay voters!

But we all know that's not Miguel. No bullet wound.

 

Why Ejls, these are some of the lovliest of pictures of yourself.

 

This was a lovely story. Its almost hard to believe you wrote it in less than a week, but sometimes when you finally get inspiration you don't want to loose it so you keep going. Some of my earlier works (way before I joined this site) were just that. I will have nothing then boom I will have something people like. What you ended up with was something truly amazing. Very well done, I tip my hat take ya.

This is said a lot during these challenges but this challenge is really going to be hard to vote for. There isn't one story that I wouldn't vote for. Great job, and good luck.

 

Thank you for your kind comments, HCB. And even more, thank you for taking the time to comment on what you read. It's so important to all of the writers, that feedback be provided by our peers.

 

First off, Happy new years.

Now, from my sisters notes she has been making the last few days about the CAW stories, she declared this story to be a winner no matter what, as you came up with it in such a short time.

Thus it shows little wonder why you are so good at crafting stories.

(Note, she told me at this time 'learn from her gourde-head' in reference to me, her brother being 'desperately in need of proper training as a writer.)

When will I learn to never forget the bloody ice-cream.
