    This is such a lovely story of halloween you wrote. It reminded me of 'Little Red Riding Hood'. The tale coincided with the character in the fiary tale story book and your story. The sequence of events; from walking alone in the woods to coming across an isolated cottage. Its so similar though this has a creepy feeling to it even in the beginning. While the latter got its mystery while at the cottage. I think you'll be great with prose writing. You're good at paying attention to details and sounds. And ofcourse your imagery which is so vividly described. Good write and wishing all a superb halloween holiday. Great write!

    Great story you crafted here. I like "Mili" - it's a name that shows innocence, especially how you used the image of a teddy bear; both of them together are actually very potent. Its shortness almost made it seem like a nickname as well, and nicknames are endearing.

    "Oh! What was waiting for poor Mili!"

    I liked the use of interjection; made it poetic in a way. The second exclamation point, though, I thought would be better as a question mark.

    "signalling demonic aura."

    This read a bit awkward to me. Perhaps an article would do?

    Overall, I really liked the images you've presented; tbe transition of events are very much dynamic. And I enjoyed the ending.

    I could just insert my comment I wrote when I judged this, but I decided to give you another comment instead... This poem was really fun and unique... what really got me was your ending... the teddy hugging you back made me feel warmth, and comfort but it also took me on another twist of the teddy being alive... giggles... oh this piece was just awesome!

    I love these types of poems. This is like your MO. If someone put ten poems in front of me, I could point you out. The use of people specified is rare in poetry, and you do it often. It's so intriguing.

    Drenched with fear, she slowly realized
    it was just a nightmare....
    heaving a sigh of relief,
    she looked at Ted and hugged him tight
    and then.... Ted hugged her back...

    ^I didn't expect that. This is so incredible. How was this piece not further recognized. All of a sudden, the piece wakes up from this incredibly dark moment that you think is something from a suspense/horror novel. You are fabulous at imagery.
