What a lovely story Annalyse! It made me hungry reading about your birthday desert. You have included lots of adjectives which is wonderful. I also like how you started your story with this weeks prompt.
Keep up the good work, I look forward to reading more of your 100 word challenges!

Hello Annalyse,
I was enchanted by your story. You used the prompt to create a written confection for your readers. I appreciate the vivid verbs you used to create sensory images and move the story forward: “dripped smoothly”, “swiftly floated”, “drooling”, “gawking”.
I’m curious about the fragrance of those “grilled mangoes”.
You have created a story that will both delight your family as well as a wide circle of readers!
