Yes, he had to be the lion. :(:: Poor kid.

Gabrielle Pollack wrote a new post 7 years, 6 months ago
Arron didn’t believe in panicking. The threat of imminent loss brought fear, but few would dare steal from him or his team.
But there were some. And that knowledge, combined with the fact that his br […]

OUCH.
I saw that coming about halfway through.

I was so afraid Justin was the lion. That story was so beautifully painful. I don’t have words…

That’s great! A solid story for certain. Good handle of character and reader emotion, as well as character depth. I do find myself wanting to see more of Karim, however… Maybe that’s just me, though.

How could you? I mean, I totally get it, but still! I liked Justin! I was just hoping and hoping and hoping that he wouldn’t be the lion but I kind of saw it coming…..-

Somehow, I kept hoping that Justin would be the lion. It seems almost cruel now that I think about it, but I value and highly respect people who sacrifice all for what is right. I think that’s why I loved Justin’s character so much. He was real, relatable, but challenges us to a higher standard that we know we all long for.
I just can’t imagine what Arron must be thinking after reading that note, though. This is one well-crafted, wonderful story. Thank you for creating it for us. 🙂-

Wow Gabrielle….that was great. Only after I read that Arron’s heart clenched from killing the lion did I get struck with the realization that Justin was the lion. My mind was drawn back to the part where Justin hoped that the counselor would appreciate his sacrifice. That hurt. A lot. I thought he was feeling guilty for calling the lion and the sacrifice he was referring to was the deaths of his brother and Karim. Deaths that he would have to live with. Deaths that he would mourn. But no. It was his own death. Ouch. *Inwardly mourning the loss of a friend that was morally decent and generally amazing*.

I’m glad you enjoyed it, even if it was painful. 🙁 Poor, noble Justin. And thank you so much for taking the time to write your thoughts out for me to read. All of the comments you guys leave mean a lot to me.

It took a long time to manipulate the plot to show Justin’s true self, but I’m glad he turned out as he did. I’m honored he became worthy of admiration.
Your words mean so much. Thank you for the encouragement. <3

Oh. My. Word.
That was incredible!!!!!!!!!
Unlike seemingly everyone else on here, I did not see it coming that Justin was the lion. Not until I read the very last line. The impact was a complete punch in the gut. The entire last scene where Arron was reading the letter was heart-stopping. I do have to admit that I was disappointed to find out that so much of the scroll bar was comments (and now I’m adding to it, heh).
One of my FAVORITE parts for sure is how you described the lion! Your choice of wording and vocabulary was nothing short of stunning. The imagery I contrived from it is more vivid and clear than most things I have read. Absolutely beautiful. I could go on and on about how well you did, but I’m not sure that I could find the right words.
Overall, WELL DONE!!-
Thank you so much for your encouraging comment! 😀 I am honored. Creating the story was a struggle, so I’m happy it created such a strong experience for you.

This is AMAZING Gabrielle! Great plot, characters, and that ending… I am really bad at riddles, so I never saw it coming XD. This is definitely one of my favorite stories!
Btw, I am also an INFP fantasy writer and really enjoy reading (Especially dark, despairing stories >:)-
Thanks Ethan! The scheming writer side of me is glad the ending surprised you XD.
*high five to a fellow INFP writer/dark story reader*

@wordsmith I think I’m going to have to agree to disagree with ya on this one. 🙂 I enjoy the beauty of the LOTR ending, but originally wasn’t addressing the tone of the story or its portrayal of consequences. I simply don’t support second…[Read more]
