Thank you very much! The word limit was harder than I had expected. :) I wanted it to be a sweet story so thank you for saying that.

This story really intrigued me. It's a quite beautiful vignette about the sun. I think that the sun is a pleasant, hopeful beacon and I love the personification that you used.
Your words are very simple and sweet. The simplicity of your story drew me in. It's such a pleasant little story, something I could imagine would be on an embroidered sampler, you know? I love things sweet like this.
The personification makes me almost see the sun as a real little (well, not little) person.
I think you did an extraordinary job with this contest, and your ending sentence, "He slept well," just took the cake.
Great job, and keep writing!
Cheers,
Bee.
