Fantastic story! So well done, and incredibly inventive. I was so impressed. I loved the ugly twist, and the charm really was the coup de grâce!

I hate to admit it, but as good as this story was, I voted for a different one. There were three very well written stories this week (in my humble opinion), so I am glad to see three winners!

You did a marvelous job! It was so imaginative, well written, and used the prompt beautifully. I am thrilled that you won the challenge!
