Well, I can't think of any other boy and girl than Ohmie and May here. The personalities are clearly the same and the happy ending is perfect. Congratulations on your second place win!

Interesting but strange. Is this a cave age romance? I'm not sure what a cypress knee is. Overall, though, it is a cute little tale.

    Yes caveman Ohmie. (May offers to walk with Ohmie to his cave.)
    I realize that my Ohmie stories float all over history and pre-history.
    A cypress knee is a knob of the root system that sprouts vertically all around the tree.
    Thank you for the review.

This is a cool little story. I enjoyed the flirting exchange between them - your dialogue captured the boy's awkwardness and the girl's humorous taunting very well. I also learnt something. I'd never heard of a cypress knee, so I googled it and now I know what it is.

An original and quite different story about the beginning of a relationship. You wrote it well and in an engaging fashion - what would he do next to ruin his chances? Nice twist. Best wishes.

I think this was an enjoyable story. I like how you get into the boys head and how he's trying to be tough (only to hit someone with a rock). It's a fun read. Loved the ending. Great job.
