This story could have gone in so many directions that would have rendered it routine. However, you resisted temptation. For example, Alex could have fallen in love with the doctor. That would have made this a soap. Alex could have awakened from a dream. That would have made this a cliche. But Alex had a more genuine experience, one that seems real to us but that also allows us to share the exotic with her. She is free to imagine that at the top of the mountain she made a connection with past ages. Or...the good doctor might be correct: she has very low hemoglobin.
Great story @popurri. Thank you for entering this in the June contest. We appreciate very much that you consistently support other authors in the community with your comments.
Hello @theinkwell. I really liked your comments. The love between Alex and the doctor for a moment I thought about it but I discarded it because it didn't seem to me the most important thing in the story and I focused on the spiritual connection which is a very interesting topic and above all in the place, where the story is set.
