Merely using a comment on the age of the journal and the archaic name form whould do the trick. Lovely cliffhanger, perfect ending.Cedarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335404569894164715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20581097.post-35620497315111183672011-09-01T20:00:06.491-04:002011-09-01T20:00:06.491-04:00I really loved this story.

The ending was great and a perfect way to tie the whole story together.

I Love lvoe love love it. I love the ...Ahhhh, yes!! I Love lvoe love love it. I love the premise behind the story. I love that I didn't realize he was going to become a genie until he practically was. This is very well written.<br /><br />My only issues? The time frame. There is no way it is over a thousand years old and he has a cell phone, not if you are using BCE as the date (unless I'm wrong but as the reader thats how I took it) though a 1000 years ago in our time frame isn't as ancient as it seems anymore.<br /><br />The other thing was that I had a small bit of confusion at first when the journal entry stopped being italics and became normal. It kind of shifted me out of the story a little. Once I realized it was the journal, I moved on with the rest of it just fine. <br /><br />Both are minor, easily fixed things, and really overall don't impact the story. I love this I really do. It's right up my alley.The Drama Mamahttp://frommywriteside.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20581097.post-39446221145368530082011-08-31T21:25:10.326-04:002011-08-31T21:25:10.326-04:00Jason, you are SO good at this kind of storytellin...Jason, you are SO good at this kind of storytelling.
