It was at the dead of night as Marie and I walked into the moonlit forest. We were feeling adventurous that day doing things we would have never done before.

What an impressive story, Eimear! You hooked me into your story right from the first sentence with your phrases 'dead of night' and 'moonlit forest'. It provided a great image and set the atmosphere.

Usually with only 100 words, writers feel they have to cram the plot into each sentence but you allowed the reader to enjoy the way the characters were thinking, giving your characters a real voice. The way you used such a variety of vocabulary and sentence structures made your story a terrific read. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, you left me with 'cliff hanger' ending! Wow! Well done, Eimear!!
