Hey Dhwani! I loved this story and the observations. A message to all of us to sometimes just stop running and slow down to look at the things which blurred as we ran. The format reminded me a lot of a short story I read recently, 'Who Moved My Cheese'...All in all, wonderful job! No critique! (Sorry, I'm bad at critiquing lol-)

Thanks a lot Flow! I thought that this was a Flow- typa story...with all the references, as you mentioned! This is really the best comment I have received for any of my stories. I am trying to improve my writing and this comment of yours is helping me to do so (+ a certain TedEd video too). Thanks again (for the pic thingie) Um, RANDOM QUESTION TIME As I mentioned, this was a 'Flow' type story. Which genres do you think are YOUR cup of tea, mah darlin'? and which ones are mine, deary Flowy?

Np, glad I could help :) I like writing fantasy, inspirational, descriptive, and fiction. As for you, I’d say you write great descriptive, contemporary, and Disney stuff lol

Well done, Dhwani!! The story was so amazing and I loved it so much!! Especially this part: You think upon this more and more, as you begin to see more and more of the moon, coming out of the shadows like Simba, waiting to be crowned the king again! I loved it so much when you did a Disney reference <3!! Loved your Aladdin Fanfic too!! It was pretty awesome!! Hope that Disney would make this a movie <3!! I'll be the first person to watch it if they make this a movie. Who do you think is the best person for playing Lian and Prince Ali? Als...

Thanks, Ash! Yeah, I mean, there is nothing better than a Disney reference. <3 !!! Um, I have no idea....any actors up for the role? Yeah, I will write it AFTER No Way Home is released...so that it does not 'hamper' the story of my idea.

It is Robbin Williams only, he dubbed the whole genie part and he modulated his voice very well!
