This two-hundred-word story, When the Devil Talks, has the required word count and finds that God protects those who have called on Him to be their Savior.

    The Devil has been haunting my neighborhood of late and I really am trying to find a way to exorcise him. My faith is strong, but I just don't like seeing what he can do to others. Have a great day, Bill.

Oh, wow, that was precious. You're very talented. That was an amazing read. The ending was surprisingly welcomed. I didn't want him to lose his soul.

I have a phobia of heights; that image of the man on the edge had my stomach fluttering. lol

You had me in suspense wondering if he was going to jump or not, thinking that he wouldn't. I'm glad to have known that he had a parachute and that the wind helped him as he completely trusted God to save him just like in the story of the Bible of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
I don't know if I would have that kind of faith if I wasn't wearing a parachute.

Startling twist--I don't quite get why he'd have a parachute if he's suicidal--even if he wasn't intending suicide in the jump scene, he'd recently tried to. Gripping dialog with the devil is well rendered.

Good job! This is a great story. The Devil can't hold a candle to the Lord. He will find a way even where there is no way. Good luck with the contest.

    I so agree... That's exactly what I was trying to get across...our faith will get us through anything including the devil's temptations. Have a great day!

This is a good presentation with your picture well chosen to go with your writing. I like that it was suspenseful from beginning to end and will keep readers engaged.

I like the way you used the voice of the devil to push, taunt, and attack Jason's character and then finally test his faith. It seems Jason has faith and a parachute. Best wishes in the contest!

    Never go anywhere without that parachute...LOL It doesn't make a lot of sense but than I had too few words to work with I guess. But fighting against the devil certainly made sense to me. Have a great day!

This is a creative, spiritually founded, 200 word story.

The storyline engages the reader throughout.

The title is attention grabbing.

Nicely done.

Good story. It doesn't pay to listen to all the voices that may be trying to get our attention. But it always pays to trust God and don't be so foolish as to not have a safety net.
