Hi bkies, I'm reviewing The Mighty Monarchs - A Tragic Loss for The Simply Positive Group FIRST IMPRESSION IN THREE WORDS: Grief, simple, uplifting What I thought while reading your story: Nice description of the village.

It suggests the village is thriving and growing. and the dusty streets that led to it were not unlike the veins of a body. – nice simile – the heart of the town (church) lay the town's main cemetery. – if it’s the only cemetery, maybe take out “main”. Any adjective or adverb that you don’t need, and is taken out, gives more impact to the story. Nine months earlier, she experienced the saddest day of her life. – you made it clear there would be a change in scene. Thanks!

If you read back your story, taking out all unnecessary words, it might enhance the impact and polish it off. ready,”she hollered – space between quotation mark and she. Could you fill in your biography? Love to know more about you. OVERALL FEELINGS AND IMPRESSIONS: Wonderful story.
