OVERALL IMPRESSION

This is a great story! Lots of action, and it's easy to visualize what's happening. I'm always thrilled to find stories that engage my imagination and keep my attention.

I liked the creativity, the thoughts behind the story. I forgot to read the brief description, so I was totally surprised as the plot unfolded.

SHINING MOMENTS

"I sat there with my mouth hanging open and gawking up at the massive height of that cliff-face, wondering how in the Lord's name I hadn't met him already.
Great characterization and humorous dialog made this sentence a winner.
Brunhilda was up to the task. I just wondered if I was.
Another winner. His physical state is established, this sentence deepened his psychological side.

The world rolled and spun – a kaleidoscope of snow, rocks, pine trees and pain.
Most artistic!

CHARACTERS/SETTING
Setting: Filled with imagery *CheckG*

Characters: Strong and vibrant/sounds like a "redneck" or seasoned soldier. He's certainly a valiant one, and I winced when you detailed his injuries and pain. Outstanding.

You asked if the customized dialog worked, and it sounds right to me. He drops his [g's] and that was not always consistent, but it may not be consistent for a real person.

CONSIDERATIONS

Your story loses cohesion because you're using too many paragraph breaks.

I would have liked a strong ending. Is the soldier working with anyone, and can he radio back? Maybe there's only static. A twist at the end will enliven the plot.

PARTING THOUGHTS

Thanks for opportunity to read your story. You may have noticed that I liked it.  *Smile*

Please remember, I'm offering one reader's opinion. My comments are yours to ignore or explore. Keep up the good work!
