I love this! The imagery is perfect. I can just see Abby and her dad in their truck. I'm wondering why she wants to harness the weather.... I'm wondering where her mom is... Looking forward to the next installment!

Absolute magic, literally and figuratively, watching for part 2

Ah, great, the start with the lovely day and then that rock, sorta whimsical at first, but then, "She owned the weather." Good one!

I love the buildup in this story! I’m excited for part two!

I like that you never said what her wish was! I'm always on board with a story that deals with the four elements, so I can't wait to see where you take this next week!

I usually believe that less is more. But in this case - MORE please! And make it snappy!

I look forward to part 2! That's a nifty plot device the stone with the four elements working like a remote control. Have a great week, Justin, and I'm going to try and make it this Friday for the 50s.
