Hey!

This is a WDC Power Reviewers Review!

Please remember that these are just my thoughts, at the end of the day whatever you decide is the right answer!


*Reading* Initial hook: nice little piece of vanity horror

*Butterflyb* Atmosphere/Tone: relaxed and self centered at first, then tense, stressful, and down right scary by the end

*Telephone* Dialogue: the writing is a little amateurish, very simple sentences with some repetition but I'll chalk it up to the 24 hr contest time limit

*Suitheart* What I liked:"Her beautiful face was gone and all that was left was a withered old woman." it almost seems anti-climatic, I mean all she did was run through a ton of rooms, but still the stress and action of the situation was enough to justify the ending

*Tools* A few comments/suggestions I had:

(Original quotes will be in black, any changes or suggestions I'll make in blue to make it clear)

at the end was a small and narrow stair case.

A few parting comments...
avoid using too many simple words and phrases, it clutters the action and flow, my heart was racing for Holly towards the end, good suspense.

Hope this helped! Great job on a great piece of readable art!!!
