I like it, but many of the words are repeated over and over...and over....oh and over again. Try to add some variety into it as I began to get tired of reading, "The men" "the factory" "the whiskey" "the boss" "a business" etc. :) |

I echo Veronas comments... This reads to me like a first draft, like when your brainstorming an idea... I'd bet a nickel you had an idea, hit post a new thread and went to town... It's lacking a flow to it. I would suggest opening up notepad, and just go to town on a story like you did. Then go through 1 paragraph at a time and reread it, if necessary do so out loud. This will help you notice a lot when you do a story. Then after you've modified the first draft and have your second draft, do this once more - only this time try to picture the story in your head as if it were a show on TV or a movie. Sometimes adding a sentence or a few words is needed in order to make something play out better. Also, give the characters names to eliminate "the one guy says to the other guy" things... sounds better to say "Franky says to Johnny". The concept of the story is rather cool. A bit like the mafia world meets resident evil. Also, it's a lot more fun to leave the story with an "open ending" so someone else can come along and continue it... You'll find that where you felt the story had ended, someone else can come along and take it in a whole new direction. For instance, this one could have ended as: "But now they stood there in awe at the devastation wrought upon the town. Rubble and debris lay everywhere. Once they assessed the situation Franky looked at Johnny and said 'Get the car and let's get the hell out of town.'" |
