The end of the story
At summer’s end the house had been razed. The girls chatted.
“Janey, what will you say you did this summer?”
“Just that I am so glad to be friends with you, especially now.”

Our weekend challenge from those novel trifecta editors was to finish what we started with the July 27th challenge. I had started a young adult mystery. As you can (I hope) imagine, LOTS must have gone on in between those 33 opening words and the above 33 closers.

The story about why the house “had been razed” is one I want to know more about. Strong ending.

With the house being “razed”, I hope it doesn’t mean the end to friendships. My summer friends as some of my most special so I can really relate here. Wonder why “especially now”?

This is a sweet ending. And my mother’s name was Janey. So I like it even more.

Well, I can see we’re going to have to spin a middle of the story challenge so we can find out what happened in that house and during that summer.
Thanks for linking up. We hope to see you again soon.

An “and they all lived happily ever after” kind of ending. Nice.

Summer friends were so awesome. I miss a lot of mine from my past. Good writing.
