The opening paragraph not only describes the conflict well, it shows Sara's emotional state. And third, you gave the reader a glimpse of the character's back story; Sara had done this before. Very well done! It's not always easy to show the reader a character's emotions, but you did an excellent job showing Sara's anxiety and her fear at having to admit her infidelity. I assume it was an infidelity? I'll list a couple of examples to show what I mean. That’s why it was going to be so hard to tell her what she had done. Sara could barely understand it herself, let alone believe it. I think when a person does something totally out of character, they wonder if the act occurred at all. I think this description fits that emotion. She mimed her way through a day full of work, going through the motions, constantly thinking back. Memories flowed through her mind like a slide show. This is another good example of 'showing' a character's emotions. Sara's anxiety are front and center here. Two items that might benefit from your further attention: 1. They way the lights played in Jill’s crystalline eyes. Despite her bold features Jill’s inner peace was the perfect balance for Sara [Sara's] wild ways. 2. She tried to swallow the gear [fear] and guilt that kept coming up. Neither of these simply-fixed errors take away from the story. Final Thoughts: I like the way you used the changing weather, storms, dark clouds, and wind, to show the increased fear as Sara approached her door. While I was hoping I'd learn how this played out, wishing the couple could weather the storm, ending the story with: Sara shut the door, as the rain began to pour. is perfect. I enjoyed reading this interesting and well-written story. Thank you for sharing your writing. Bikerider This review has been submitted to "Good Deeds Get CASH!"
