RE: The Ink Well Prompt #26: Honeymoon in the woods

in The Ink Well3 years ago (edited)

Hello @divplanet. You have an interesting story in that a couple decides to spend their honeymoon in a wooded area. That is unusual a setting. You describe the wooded area nicely. Usually mysteries start off as normal. The situation allows you to relax and not expect anything to happen. Once you let your guard down, then you experience the real happenings that sometimes don't work out for the best.

I like your story and that you included other couples in it. The fact that those couples seemed to have an early unknown fate makes for the mysterious place to become an even more evil setting. It unnerves the couple in that now they truly begin to wonder if their decision to have their honeymoon there was the right one.

I'm happy they made it out in the end. Unexpected conclusion in that it was all a game. If any one of the couple had a medical condition, the outcome may not have been happy. Your ending also told something of the couple's relationship. No matter what happened, they stay together until the end. This is a also a bit of underlying forecasting maybe of their future together. They will probably work as a team to find a solution....or die trying.

Welcome to The Ink Well Community.

I wanted to suggest two items I feel would benefit you as a future author:

SOURCING:
When sourcing any images you include in your stories, linking directly to the image is a good way to avoid any problems. The link you provide guides your reader to the front page of the site for UNSPLASH.com. You can edit your post to include this information.

READABILITY:
I feel that the informational posts provided by The Ink Well Community is the perfect place for helping authors become better storytellers. Please take a look when you get a chance. The grammar resources would be especially good for you to consider.

Thanks for sharing your story. Have a good week ahead, and take care.
