Ruqaiyah-- I love your story Stagnant, and I am so happy to see it here on the website. You kept the writing class captivated each week wanting to know what would happen next.
I also really enjoyed your story To the Gift of Our Soul, the Gift of our Freedom. First, what a great title. I also love the ending where you reveal her name. Your writing is so descriptive, I could really visualize every thing--the settings, the Master, and Nine's desperation to be free.
