I agree with Heather’s comment — this is a great story, Brett! You have done very well with characterization and setting, which as you know is very important for historical fiction!
I’ve been looking for your BBB challenges and wondering if you are still in the competition. It’s not too late to get going on some of the widgets, and I think you’d have a lot of fun with them!
This story is really good, it is the best story that I have read on this blog. My favorite part was when he thought the magma was orange hot water. You have a very good title and vocabulary matching the story.
Hi Brett, I’m Charles! You have a great use of vocabulary and you can understand the story very clearly. The only thing that I think you should improve on is to make a less sudden and less sudden death, because people don’t really walk of cliffs by accident. Overall, I think that you have a good historical fiction!
A surprising ending! I thought it was going to be the usual happy end & that Gaius was going to be set free. His death was dramatic but his good actions were not forgotten. The story is believable & it was clearly conveyed.
Very creative story and great use of vocabulary! But I think you should give Gaius a happy ending, because one message you could show in the story is “if you treat other’s well, good will come to you”. Also, very good job on characterization, since I, the reader can easily see that Gaius’s master cares very much about wealth and antiques more than he cares for his own life. When Gaius would risk anything for a human’s safety and well-being. Good message portrayed through the story, continue writing stories in you spare time and I would look forward to reading them!
