Stone Love by glastobasto

This piece contains some lovely decscription, and has an intimate air.

'She grew to hide her hurt, to bury it under a stripey jumper of confidence.'

'But we had clicked, I think we both heard it,'

'It was true..... love laughs at locksmiths'

I felt it was a little disjointed in places, the centre of the story is how they meet again years later. Maybe you could start with that then flashback to how they used to be.

The diamond analogy is less original than some of your other lines - maybe you could look at improving some of your description - some of it feels too cliched.

'I knew that she was a multi faceted diamond, each facet as beautiful as the last, but as a whole they made a stone of immesurable worth.'

It has real potential a nice read.

I really liked the stripey jumper of confidence too! Great image. lib
http://www.abctales.com/story/glastobasto/love-laughs-at-locksmiths This reads so much better - i love the title, it is an excellent line and the way you return to it at the end is great. The star is much more original than diamond. The end lightens the piece and allows the reader to laugh with the author rather than feeling pity. great read. Juliet
