RE: Blink of an eye (Five minutes freewrite)
I love old man Gill!! In a good way he brings to mind Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird.
I'm confused and wondering what you mean by his "taunts" - just predictions of trouble to come? - because in the next breath, he's never said anything to cause her dislike of him:
Maggie wondered whether old Gill would be there with his usual taunts. She hated him and the mean look in his strange blue eyes...
‘I thought I heard some strange noises earlier, must be a storm is coming’' (he said) ... Maggie just nodded, not bothering to look at the skinny little man she hated. For no reason, actually. He never did or said anything wrong,
You're right. I will edit this... My problem is I write these stories very late at night and by the time I'm done I barely have any patience left to check for major typos.
Your story is FINE just as it is!! No need to edit this, especially if it costs "RP" or some such thing at Steemit. If you were to PUBLISH this, some light editing would be in order - but for 5 Minute Freewrite, let it go! This way it's an honest account of what you do in Freewrite Mode. :) I'm in awe of your imagination and storytelling skills.
By "publish" I meant outside of publishing at Steemit. :)
