*MushroomBr* *MushroomBr* *MushroomBr* Plot and Emotional Impact:
*CheckB*

Your story is a great short shot for a contest. The ending was interesting. The main character thinks he is getting sacked, when he is not. But he manages to mess it up, poor guy! I liked the main character's nerve and courage, or was it foolishness? He figured he had nothing to lose, so why not speak his mind? Oops!

*MushroomO* *MushroomO* *MushroomO* What I liked: *Checkr*

You did a nice job with the delivery and the flow. I know you were writing this with a very strict word limit. The storyline was something everyone can identify with, trying to keep a job in this economy. Smart! Clever! Well done!

*Mushroomr* *Mushroomr* *Mushroomr* Suggestions: *Checkv*

You had a few minor mistakes with tense and punctuation. A sentence has a subject and a verb and is a complete thought. If you use a comma when a period is needed, it is known as a comma splice. I hope that helps you. I have pointed out a few suggestions below.
I am here to help you. Please take whatever helps you from my review and discard with the rest.

of Mark as I waited*grape* semicolon, it felt like hours.
I had seen the signs on the balance sheets period, the cuts were inevitable.
Listen—” he spanned around.
I looked at him in disgustperiod “You're you're a fool Markperiod, you always were.”
“I wasn't going to make you redundantcomma” he stuttered.
“Look, Mark I’m sorryperiod” I tried to back pedal.

This was a great short story with a build up and a nice solid plot. I enjoyed the ending and found myself chuckling. Oops! He made a mess of things, didn't he?

Keep writing! You are doing a great job on WDC! I'm glad you're here!
