MY THOUGHT & IMPRESSION:
The story is good and the title is enticing, it creates a mystery, so my impression can be an interesting story,
It talks about childhood friendship and the memories behind it.
Each scene has its importance in the story to enhance the emotion.
The climax is when they already reveal each character and I enjoyed reading it.

MY DOUBT & SUGGESTION:
I have a few doubts for you to consider, I marked them in red, and green is my suggestion. Thank you.

MY THOUGHT & IMPRESSION:
The given title reminds me of a movie about vampires, so my first impression is this can be a vampire and horror story.
The created body flows smoothly and the sequence is orderly and arranged properly, every scene is important to enhance the beauty of the story.

This is in the narrative style, and I missed the dialogue element.

Dialogue is the exchange of spoken words between two or more characters in a book, play, or other written work, in which it makes the story lively like watching television.

Over all the story is good and I enjoyed reading it.


MY DOUBT & SUGGESTION:

Just like I had said, I only have doubts about the use of dialogue.
I suggest that it is more lively and realistic if we add the dialogue form.

Thank you for your participation in the contest.

MY THOUGHT & IMPRESSION:

The given title of the story is good and it links to the given prompt. You did well in arranging the sequence which creates a good flow and every scene is important in the story.
The elements that I mostly liked are the plot and the climax which is found in the ending part of the story, where it allows the reader to decide who did the killing.
The language that was used is for everybody which is why an ESL (English Second Language) like me will understand it.
Overall, I enjoyed reading the story.

MY DOUBT & SUGGESTION:

I didn't find words to distract the flow and no doubt arise.

MY THOUGHT & IMPRESSION:
The story is good and you did well in hooking your reader at the beginning part of the story, maybe by introducing the misery or the possible conflict of the main character and how that problem will be solved at the end,

The story flows smoothly and fluently and it enhances different emotions that create sympathy from the reader to the main character.
All the characters were introduced well by showing and letting the reader be in their shoes by expressing what they think and feel.

MY THOUGHT & IMPRESSION:
The given title is intriguing and linked to the given prompt of the story just like the created body.
It's in narrative style and you did well in showing about the life of a troll and how they Express their selves to others.
I only know now that trolls are never to be trusted, I believe you did great research on them.

You did well in making the story interesting, though it's just simple and light but the sequence and the flow are good and the language that was used can reach everyone.
Well done!


MY DOUBT & SUGGESTION:

Here are some of my doubts:

The given title it's in the Interrogative style, so you should add a question mark at the end.

I have also doubts about the part of the dialogue, there are only a few.
Dialogue is one of the important parts of a story, it makes the story lively and can moderate the dullness.

Here are some of the few sentences that I also have doubts,
I marked them in red color and green are my suggestions.

MY THOUGHT & IMPRESSION:

The story is good and the created words give good
imagery to the reader. Sometimes good imagery especially if it touches the reader's heart through their experience, visions, dreams, likes, and inspiration can stimulate their emotions to like and love as well as be hooked on the given title of a piece.

You did well in hooking your reader about the mysterious lights that come in the wood and at the end of the story they are wolves.
The proper using and choosing of words and blending them can create vivid imagery and evoke emotions. This will enable the reader to be a part of the story.
The crafted words are good for me, they create vivid imagery.

Great Work! Good luck!
MY DOUBT & SUGGESTION:
I have a few thoughts for you to consider, I colored them with red and my suggestion is in green.

The story flows smoothly and in the middle part, it stirs emotions like concern and sympathy.

Great Work! Goodluck!

MY THOUGHT & IMPRESSION:

This is so beautiful story and you did well in showing it.
It flows smoothly from the beginning hooking me to wonder about the little girl and the homeless man and I am not expecting in the end that they were related to each other-father and his long-lost daughter.

I can relate to this, and I liked the emotions that were stirred at the ending part, you did well in arranging the scene and the parts of the story to be in order.
You did well also to reflect the prompt to be especial and momentous.

This reminds me that God shows His love wonderfully, especially to simple things and through little children, those who are weak and helpless.
