Curse your throwing words about like that! <cursing in a good way> That was smashing, guv. You make those words seem so easy to do. so right for the story. wheat fields... they've got something about them alright. i remember them as a kid. can wind undulate things though? pah. shut up Nick, not important. Top marks Sean!
And great call on the wind part. The way I wrote it read like the wind was undulating (huh!?), so I removed the mention of wind entirely from that line.
a happy ending?!! if I didn’t like this so much, I would consider it a betrayal. really beautiful all the way through.
I decided to go bran over brand. har har
Thanks for the kind words! ❤️
🪦
This is mesmerizing! Felt like I could hear the wheat rustle as I read the story. So cool.
Thank you, Lizzy! That means a lot to me! ❤️❤️
This was beautiful.
Thank you, Liz ❤️
This one was a ride! Had no idea where it was going to lead me. Love the interaction between these two
Thanks, Will ❤️🙏🏼
Ooh, this is very good. Nicely done, Sean!
Thanks! It was for a rural fantasy submission that was rejected within minutes. Lol
This was great, did not go where I thought it was going to! The wheat was its own fantastic character.
Thanks for reading my story and for the lovely comment! 🌾 ❤️
Seriously? You gotta ask yourself who’s working the desk at those places. AI, maybe 🤔
Nah, I think people just have preferences and follow some pretty old fashioned rules about things. It's fine. Now I get to publish it here!
I don’t even try anymore, for obvious reasons. Pointless.
This is such a great story, and I'm so glad it ended how it did.
Thanks for digging through my archive, Keith! It was a fun story to write. Def up there as one of my favorites.

you could go - the wheat undulated in the wind, maybe? - its a vgood image
Love this one
❤️ Thank you, Linda!
❤️
I want more about these characters!
Ooo that could be fun to explore. ❤️
I like it when the babies are saved.
"If the wheat could speak, we’d hear it scream when the combine came around.”
Impeccable logic there. Check-mate, wheat-talkers.
haha right!? ❤️
I had to read this one twice, the imagery was too haunting to not revisit. Also, witches 🖤
❤️ Thank you! Witches are so 90s! That's why I love them. ;)
