Reflection [13+] Short story. Used on contest. |
Hi Kac, I am reviewing your story "Reflection" on the behalf of Game of Thrones here on WDC. ♥ This short story is about a man who does not have a reflection. Although, he visits the store, goes to the bank, and he even says hello to the cashiers, but for some strange reason, he is invisible. One day he goes home and takes a snap shot of himself and realizes that he can see himself, and shortly after he realizes that he has died. ♥ Things I noticed/specific suggestions: I think your short story would read better if it were broken into sections. For example: Once upon a time there was a man who had no reflection in the mirror. He has not appeared in any photos he took of himself. Yet everyone else could see him. So he's not invisible? Everyday, he greeted the cashier at the store. He smiled at random people on the street. He went to work. The bank. The pub. Everyone could see him. One day, he woke up. Got out of bed and went towards the bathroom. He looked in the mirror and saw someone. He saw someone in the mirror. But he didn't know it was his own reflection. It's easier on the eyes and it allows readers to pause in a sense before moving onto another part in the story. ♥ Spelling/Grammar: I did not spot any spelling mistakes, but your grammar does need some work. For example: He was not alive anymore. ♥ Overall: This was a good short story and with a little more work it could be amazing. You have little things that need to be worked on, but this is a really good story. This review was given freely in thanks for a writing that was written freely ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **
