Will she be persuaded by Frank? Has Mark's harsh and uncharacteristic impatience halted the harvest? A story that reads like a true crime incident.

Just been watching a series on 'Shetland' dealing with human trafficking. Have you seen it? Gives you chills to know these ugly humans are lurking, ever on the alert to trap young girls, mainly. <br />You've given your story several layers - the uncomprehending parents, the dissatisfied girl, the new job, being caught in a web of deceit. I hope she makes the right choice.<br />Thanks Sally.

Some very young , teenagers and women that have been sheltered all their lives. Looking for a life of freedom, they fall into a prison that is hard to break out of. I'm glad Frank found her. I like the way this story ended with hope. <br />Excellent.<br />Shalom aleichem,<br />Pat GPat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-69918918414414875812019-10-18T02:28:02.132-07:002019-10-18T02:28:02.132-07:00This story was real horror because it's so pla...This story was real horror because it's so plausible.

The twist in the end surprised me. But despite the dangers of leaving a safe home, I wish Nita would persevere in her new, independent life. Nobody should live with their parents at 33, be forced to follow all their restrictions or hide their cell phones. It is too sad contemplate.

I hope Nita is persuaded and leaves the danger behind. Your flash illustrates how important communication between parents and children is, even after the children are adults. Well done.<br /><br />Thank you for your participation in the Challenge.Nilanjana Bosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656370320322301943noreply@blogger.com
