heidi's response to Ayisha's story

“An Autumn Dream”
The description of the trees are well done and create a nice setting for the story. The story goes right into the story and gets the reader involved, and the emotional tension between the two characters is nicely understated and subtly developed. Also, the story development is incorporated into the action so it keeps progressing. I don’t really feel like I know either of the characters’ personalities though, nor is it clear what their motivations are. Ending with the protagonist waking up from a dream is a big disappointment and leaves the reader feeling tricked and cheated. An alternate way of ending it would be preferable.
