It is said that Rasputin gained the undying loyalty of the Tsarina and Tsar by "healing" one of their children of a fever. Written for the "Six Word Story" contest.
haha oh Rasputin. what an interesting guy. did you know they tried to kill him a few times but he kept coming back? thats a pretty crazy story.
I think its rediculous how the Romanov family believed he was healing Aleksei's (I don't know if that is the correct spelling) hemophilia. Although given the state of Russia at the time (isolation from advancemnt in general) I suppose it is understandable that they would think something like that.
This was well written, it summed up Rasputin nicely (especially for only 6 words!)
I love this guy. I just watched a History Channel thing on him. Truly a man in history that isn't talked about as much, but should be. Way to fit this into six words. Here's to hopin' you win the contest.
15 years of writer's block later, I'm back at it.
I look forward to any and all feedback, but.....please critique my work on it's merit. If you disagree with an underlying message or opinion, that.. more..
