A Hero's Burden - A Quickdraw Story [E] A cop and David attempt to stop a robbery gone wrong from happening. |
Hello, Louis Williams ! I enjoyed reading your story, and I thought it was a clever concept! The opening paragraph is one of the best hooks I've read in a long time, and it drew me in perfectly to read on. I liked how the structure built-up slowly to reveal the scene bit by bit and lead to a nice twist at the end. I do have a few suggestions on where the reading slowed down for me. It's totally up to you what you want to edit. In the first paragraph there's a typo: The news casters - newscasters There are a few spots where there are repeated words, so it would be good to switch up the words to keep it fresh. For instance in this sentence, the double wording of look: He turned back around to look at me. The look And here, with the wording of felt/feel I knew he was right, but it all felt so real when someone’s life had to be taken. I didn’t feel... Also, you might want to tighten up the number of the word 'was'. Typo: An hour had gone by while a couple of detectives shown up to talk showed Typo: If he died than did that save... then Overall, a catchy story that had me engaged from the beginning to the end! It has an original concept, and I found that intriguing to draw me in. I also liked how the information wasn't dumped all at the beginning but dropped like breadcrumbs a long the way. Nice. Keep up the great work! ~Lornda My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
