What a wonderful story! I truly enjoyed it! Great job!
You carried the theme of immortality very well throughout the text, from its quizzical introduction to the final resolution.
Your story is one that deserves more than one read--real-life events are generally played throughout our minds over and over, interpreted and reinterpreted. One thing that is constant is the goodwill of relatives--I've also experienced this off and on.

This book highlights what I believe to be the purpose of this contest - remembering your family. Uncle Petro gained immortality by finding a place in your heart and mind. As long as he lives on in your memories - he will never die.
Well done Carmen!!

Thanks again. :D
My comments has two parts.
1-What a lovely story. I love your description of auntie nina in the kitchen by the sink, the way she moves her fingers around the apron, spashing water. I can feel how impatient she get with Uncle Petro.
2-As your story begins-"But that's what uncle Petro wanted.." Did I missed a page?
In conclusion I feel the warm family gathering and all the exchanges the happen.
It reminds me of my family gathering... mehr anzeigen
