Cute story that continues to hold my attention. It sounds as though the new groundskeeper is someone the gnomes are happy to have. He is doing well with his new job.

Oh, the mystery deepens and Nicholas is drawn even deeper into the magical world which seems to approve of him, or at least Constantine's comments about the shed lighting up indicates that is does.

This chapter is filled with great imagery, YM. I could easily 'see' the inside of the shed and all the events as the story unfolded. It seems Constantine has taken a liking to Nicholas. I like the magical inferences of this story and believe there will be many tangents to explore. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully with Love and Admiration, Jan.

Haha, I love the first paragraph it's so adorably strange, it's awesome. Haha, I think Constantine dancing must have been such a fun sight to behold. I feel like Nicholas and I are equally confused by what it all means. I am so curious about what would happen next.

    Thanx so much, Bill -- I'm so glad you're enjoying this story. :) I've written it for young people to read 'with' their parents to hopefully have something to discuss at the dinner table without phones there!! ;) :) LOL! ;) Your support means a lot -- thanx! ;) )Yvette

The description of the shed is fantastic in all senses of the word. I hadn't realized that the rosebush is a character. That's cool.

Constantine has high expectations of Nicholas.

The end is a great hook. Readers can't wait to continue the story.

Blessings Julia

I love the thought that your writing story about gardens. Gardens show the beauty from flowers and their surroundings. For instance, rocks, archways and wood carvings. Great story.
