Greetings, I.M. Frayed! This isn't bad, but it's a little ambiguous (confusing without a real end). But I know how difficult these 300 word contests can be, so I can't really fault you for that. It sounds like your character's mother was a little out of it, and I'm guessing some of that rubbed on your character too. The part about the gas and the smoke and the glass was a little confusing, but I'm also guessing that the character might have tried suicide? Regardless, the spelling and grammar were good, but I did spot a couple of niggles: 'Not good(,) but better.' (there's also a few other spots in this that could use a comma) 'I didn't thought about my last words until asked...' (think) Kee ponw ritin gon, I.M., and welcome to WdC! If you like to write, then you're going to love it here! PS-I read your portfolio intro, and I hope that by joining this site your life settles down some! And good luck in the contest! PPS-You might want to get your biography set up so we can know a little something more about you (hobbies, favorite authors/books, location, etc.), but that's up to you, of course. PPPS-Since you’re new here, perhaps you’d like to check out "Noticing Newbies" to get a feel of Writing.Com and introduce yourself to the community!
PPPPS-If you want more exposure for your items you can put them on the Please Review Page or The Plug Page under Community on the left hand side.
