Oh, the mystery deepens and Nicholas is drawn even deeper into the magical world which seems to approve of him, or at least Constantine's comments about the shed lighting up indicates that is does.

This chapter is filled with great imagery, YM. I could easily 'see' the inside of the shed and all the events as the story unfolded. It seems Constantine has taken a liking to Nicholas. I like the magical inferences of this story and believe there will be many tangents to explore. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully with Love and Admiration, Jan.

Haha, I love the first paragraph it's so adorably strange, it's awesome. Haha, I think Constantine dancing must have been such a fun sight to behold. I feel like Nicholas and I are equally confused by what it all means. I am so curious about what would happen next.

Well done, bring on more.

    Thanx so much, Bill -- I'm so glad you're enjoying this story. :) I've written it for young people to read 'with' their parents to hopefully have something to discuss at the dinner table without phones there!! ;) :) LOL! ;) Your support means a lot -- thanx! ;) )Yvette

The description of the shed is fantastic in all senses of the word. I hadn't realized that the rosebush is a character. That's cool.

Constantine has high expectations of Nicholas.

The end is a great hook. Readers can't wait to continue the story.

I love the thought that your writing story about gardens. Gardens show the beauty from flowers and their surroundings. For instance, rocks, archways and wood carvings. Great story.

That was a fun little jaunt, Yvette. I'll have to catch up on the parts before this one. Good descriptive work and I enjoyed the characters.

I stumbled on one sentence. Part of me wants it to be in past tense like the rest.--Intriguingly, I couldn't see the back wall because the light faded before that... -- Intriguingly, the light dimmed along the back wall and kept whatever lay there hidden from my view.-- It gives it the same bit of mystery. At least, that's I thought you were going for, lol.

One more tinsy, winsy little thing. I never known a boy to put his hands on his hips so much, a girl, yes. Maybe he's gender fluid? Lol, I don't know. Just food for thought.

I enjoy your work, Yvette, and look forward to more of it.

Take care,
Russell
