Hello, Dave Ryan An "Anniversary Reviews" gift for you! I enjoyed reading your story! I think for the small word count you did a good job of telling the whole story. I'm not a fan of starting things off with dialog, but it did jump right into the scene to hook me in. It did have some mysterious undertones to it as I read a long, and I wanted to know what was going to happen next. There was a twist at the end. Way to go! The only feedback I can give you is to watch how many characters you have in a short word count. It was kind of hard to follow who was who at times. It did flow along okay, but I had to stop to think about who was talking and what these guys were all thinking. If this was for a contest with a word count then I totally understand why you had to move it along. Overall, I enjoyed the story, and it did work up to an interesting ending. Was it horror? I'm not too sure, because I kind of smirked at the end. Lol! I guess with the amount of guys around, it would take awhile, eh? I thought you did well with structuring the story to reveal the outcome one piece at a time. Even thought there were many characters in the scene, I thought the dialog did a good job at moving the story forward. Keep up the great writing!
