Thank you for tagging me! Loved your prologue your 'stories in pictures' style is really refreshing and nice to read and you capture just the right moments with your screenshots. The title is intriguing, I can't wait to find out more and to see where a turtle comes into this!

I wonder where Finn's eye and hair colour came from... Could he be a mermaid maybe?

Oh no! Poor Finn and Naja

I'm glad their grandma is looking after them though

Thanks for tagging me

I'm so sorry for Finn and Naja. Losing your parents at such a young age... Finn looks like a strong boy, I can't wait to read more of him.

pammiechick

I adore Finn!

Can't wait for more!

Great job!

Thanks for tagging me! The story is so sad so far, but Finn is so cute! I'm excited to read more about him and his new life.

Thanks for tagging me about your story prologue! Intriguing title, curious to find out how it connects to the story. I have a theory already, but I'll keep it to myself for now. Love how some screenshots have no text accompanying them, leaves the reader to use their imagination to interpret what's going on. You did a great job capturing the emotions in them. Looking forward to the first chapter! #bookmarked

MonaSolstraale

@TheYayToast @Karababy52 Thanks for the comments
It is unfortunately a bit gloomy at first .... but everything has an end

Queenarella

I have now published the first chapter ...
It's a little short, but the next one is coming soon

Chapter 1

ThePlumbob

Aww, poor Finn and Naja. Hopefully things pick up for them from here on!

Everything has an end ... even the dark days

TheYayToast

About the new chapter:

Aaaah! How could you make it even more sad?! Poor Finn and Naja. They are both so cute as YA and Teen though.

I hope they both find happiness soon.

MonaSolstraale

@TheYayToast soon?
.... it might be a little too much to hope for ... otherwise there is no story
But things look a little brighter in the next section, so hang on

MaggieMarley

Poor Finn and Naja losing first their parents, then grandma, then one another at least they have each other again now though.

MonaSolstraale

@MaggieMarley
..... it gets better

MonaSolstraale

I sense that there is a need for me to bring a different mood into the story ..... therefore the 2nd chapter is published
Have a nice weekend



Chapter 2

MaggieMarley

Awww I loved this chapter! It was very heartwarming Grandma is such a sweet lady and they all look very happy here

MonaSolstraale

Thanks @MaggieMarley
Finn has deep wounds but he also keeps the memory of a caring grandmother in his heart
... the question is whether he has hidden it too far away
The next chapter may provide some answers

MonaSolstraale

The winter cold is still lurking around the corners. Naja is just about to tell Finn about school when there is a knock on the door...
Finn is a wounded child and this chapter will give us some more answers to what has happened in the past


Chapter 3

MaggieMarley

Aww looks like Finn's experiences might have left him feeling a little antisocial. Or maybe he is just a natural loner? Either way, I don't blame him for not wanting to chat with the neighbours! I'm that way too.

Nice shot of the orphanage!

Aww no poor Finn getting bullied have to admit I hate the sound of people chewing myself though lol.

Yay Vlad!

I see you also managed to get a like button for your posts

Yes I did
It would not have happened without my stubbornness

I knew you would be happy to see Vlad
I'm glad I did not know Vlad from your point of view when I wrote my story ... so I would have had scruples

Thank you for always being so kind to leave a comment
It means a lot to me here while my storytelling in English is so new

MonaSolstraale

While Naja is at school, Finn goes fishing..... this is how one should always live life. Sun and a fishing rod in hand



Chapter 4

MaggieMarley

Aww no worries, I'm enjoying your story! I want to see what happens

Vlad makes his second appearance... I get the feeling he means no good
