Hi Writer_Mike,

This is a fantastic story. The tone is formal. It suits the story and plot very well. The reader is wondering if their will be any other ceremonies like this planned. They will read to the last word to find out. In the story, a ceremony is held to honor the people who lost their lives aboard American spacecraft at different time. The story is narrative as opposed to conflict based. This rare in literature and very interesting. There is no doubt about what is going on here. The characters are well developed and believable. They come across as real people. The dialogue is well done and realistic. The characters speak like real people. You have left the description to the imagination of the reader. This is an effective technique which keeps the reader focused on the plot. The story is well structured and consistent in terms of point of view and tense. You have accomplished a great deal in just a few words. Great job.
