    Great job Nick. It’s a lovely snapshot of a family. Also a visual treat in it’s description of the disappearing pond and the meadow that took it’s place. More!!

    Mr. Googins drew me into his short story and now I worry about the Stevnsons and their vacation fate.
    Nicely done.

    I love Alyssa’s carefree innocence and imaginative positivity. In such a short story, the writer was able to show the interesting relationship the three children have with themselves and with each other, and ends at the perfect moment. I think the artwork reinforces the story’s insight into the children’s personalities too. Great little creation. <3
