Oh to travel back in time and right the wrongs and make mistakes we made right. How would this change our future? Great concept to your story which makes it all the more interesting and just imagine if everyone had that ability, would there be no wars? Or would there just be more chaos than we imagined. Your words flowed so naturally, love Dolly x

It would be lovely, wouldn't it? But, as you say, we could end up making bigger mistakes. Thank you, Dolly, for your lovely review. Big hugs. Sandra. xxx
Comment from alexisleech
Another great chapter, Sandra. You manage to pull the reader in to the world of Veronica, James, and Mildred, and create an image of love and friendship most might envy. Having said that, I'm sure they broke the mold with Mildred! The search for a way to get Joe out of Michael continues, and I can't wait to see how you resolve it. I'll be thinking of you in Spain, and I'll miss you till you return.

Aww, thank you, Alexis, you always spoil me. I'm so pleased you are following this story and enjoying it. I hope I'm not away for long. I'll miss you too. Big hugs, my friend. :) xxx
Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi Sandra;
it seems that the problem of how/when time travel happens for the characters is going to be quite the puzzle for you. I do hope you are able to come up with something that really sounds plausible,

Why do you think it will be a puzzle for me, Patty? As with most fiction stories writers, this one is already worked out before I started. Not a problem, just a lot of fun. :)) Sandra xx

Hi Sandra; no offense intended - I have read a few stories involving time travel where the writer had absolutely no idea how to explain the traveling in a coherent way.
As a reader, I'm waiting to see the end of the 'puzzle.'

I wasn't offended, Patty, I just didn't understand the question. The reader shouldn't know how things are going to end. :) xx
Comment from Jan Anderegg
Excellent chapter.
LOVED this paragraph!
A sudden crash made us both jump. Michael's Lego castle was smashed and all the bricks scattered around him. He stared up at us with such a tragic look on his face. "It weren't my doin' ... I don't much know 'ow I got 'ere," he said in a sad, apologetic way. Both Mildred and I looked at each other with dumbfounded expressions.
It was that voice again, and not my precious little boy's.
Talk about setting the stage for what's to come! Brilliant.
I didn't find anything to correct or edits needed. All the best.

Comment from RPSaxena
Hello Sandramitchell,
Nice piece in continuation; smooth flow throughout up to the end; 'Mildred's own unique dialect' is self-evident and gives the theme an original flavor.
Interesting, and worth enjoying!

Comment from rwilliam
LOVE the photo! It's PERFECT for this chapter!!
"Oh, Lordy, Miss Veronica, was that ... was that ... Oh, Lordy!" Mildred's hands linked fiercely together as she swayed back and forth. Her ashen face accentuated the stunned expression in her eyes. --I loved how you painted this scene. It was just perfect. I could see Mildred's reaction so clearly. BRAVO!! :-)
A strong, sweet cup of tea was needed.--this brought a smile. I love tea!
I then took a couple of chocolate biscuits out for myself. Purely for medicinal purposes, I told myself.--Too funny. HA HA HA ! :-D
I love the ending. I can feel the exasperation of the Mom with this whole thing. *clap *clap* clap. wonderful chapter.r I"m sorry I don't have a six to prove it. I"m all out. :-( But just know you earned a six. :)

Comment from Ulla
Hi Sandra, Just found fifteen minutes to go on line, and I thought I'll just go in and have a look. I'm glad I did. Wonderful chapter and how difficult it must be for Veronica. I wonder who 'The Powers to Be' are and who cause her to time travel. Great writing as usual, and an intriguing story. Big hugs, Ulla xxx

Oh, thank you, Ulla! That is so nice of you coming to review while you are on holiday. Thank you so much for the 6 my friend. The powers that be will be back in the next part. Big hugs my dear friend. :) Sandra
I won't be on here for a while, we will be coming to Spain tomorrow night as my husband's brother is in hospital after having a heart attack. This is his second one, so Graham is very worried. He's younger than Graham by 7 years. I hope you are enjoying your holiday? xxxxx

Oh, Sandra, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's terrible. No wonder your husband is worried and upset. I will be thinking of you all. I do hope for the best. A big hug Ulla xxxx

Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
I am English so I like the use of U.k English, it is the truest form of English, we did originate the language! You write well with depth and with verve. Your work is exciting and vigorous, I enjoyed it immensely and look forward to continuing with reading the story. Kindest regards and well done Meia x

Comment from C.A. Wittman
It appears the monastery is part of the solution for helping Joe get back to his own time. Good post.
For your consideration:
as he stared at all the Lego(s) scattered...
James sat up straight, the frown developing on his forehead deepening. "Go on, I'm all ears."
...his frown deepening, or, the frown, which had developed on his forehead deepened.
I flopped in James's arms and sighed.
I sank into Jame's arms, or, relaxed into Jame's arms. Flopped is a strange adjective to use here. It gives the image of Veronica's throwing herself at James in a rag doll sort of way.
All the best, Celena
