The poetic style beginning was very appropriate, and added to the atmospheric qualities of this story which I must say reminded me of the ‘Twilight Zone’ but it wasn’t a copy. Nice!!!

I love stories that are ghost like, weird, hair-raising and spine tingling. This one had all the elements needed to fulfill those loves. Good writing, good sensory input and a nice balance between showing and telling.

A true ghost town that is set in a future world peopled by American Natives and Eastern American who have traveled West and joined the Native American Tribes. A war or natural disaster has force people from Eastern America to journey West.

Very good tale!! Eerie and entertaining!!

Nice Job!!!
