Hi.
As promised, I'm going to rev. this..."gets out large reviewing hammer"... and as allways, these are only 'my' suggestions. ( go ahead and throw rocks at me if you wish)
I noticed a lot of 'run-on' sentences, and comma-splices, but it's shaping up to be a good story.
my comments in blue

[ The stars shone above the small unknown town, almost all of the townspeople were fast asleep except for the occupants of one home, the candles shining in the darkness. Inside there was a young woman and a child cradled in her arms. She hummed the melody to a lullaby she had grown up with, a lullaby that her child would never hear from her after tonight.
The sound of horses made her sit up back straight, only to sigh and sink into herself once more, looking down at the small infant in her arms. It was almost time to say goodbye, their time together was drawing to a close, as she heard the sound of voices coming closer to her home. ]

Hi!!

First, (I'm sure others have mentioned it) you're missing a lot of 'CAPS'.
[ "mind turning off the light?" ] would be "Mind..."

Second... repitition of names. ( once named, just he/she .. your reader will know who 'he' is)
[ these were Jupiter's first experiences... Jupiter's warm, free world drained away...Jupiter fell to his knees... his strength left him, Jupiter passed out,
( Believe me, I had to remove a ton of 'Dans, and Ochis from my first attempt at a story.)
So untill another speaks, acts, or thinks, you are still in 'his' view. When another speaks, it is best to let your reader know 'up front' who is about to speak.
[ "ah, you still alive, good. we'd thought you dead for awhile there," a feminine voice came from the other side of the room, "how're ya feeling?" }
better... A feminine voice came from the other side of the room. "Ah**, you're still alive. How're ya feeling?"
(it's a lont time before we find that voice belonged to an un named doctor. If he doesn't know her, let her introduce herself.) note the cap A.

Also, you might consider 'indents'. It's easy. Just put {indent} at the top of your story... highlite and copy... use the arrow keys to scroll down, and 'ctrl / v ' to past them where they're needed.

Hi! Intresting story.
I did spot a few...easy to fix..problems. (my opinion only... it's your story)
My comments in blue

While Brandon was busy untangling an errant rope on Julie’s sled, she walked absently away, fussing with the dangling end of her scarf. Brandon, ready to pull his daughter up the busy hill once more, turned to where she had stood a moment ago.

“Here you go kiddo…” he started, but she wasn’t there.

But now Brandon’s ears focused on the squeaking of rubber on hard-packed snow as the missile sped toward the bottom of the hill and his five year old daughter.

“Julie, watch out,” he cried, knowing he could not reach her in time
[ But now 'his' .... Knowing he couldn't reach her in time, he yelled, "Julie, watch out." ]

The tube took Julie’s legs out from under her and the tiny body cart-wheeled through air. Brandon heard a dull thud when she landed flat on her back on hard-packed snow.

He reached her a heartbeat later. “Honey, it‘s okay. Daddy’s got you,” he said, lifting her onto his lap and kneeling on the snow.
[ He reached her a heartbeat later, kneeling in the snow, and lifting her onto his lap. "Honey, it's okay. Daddy's got you." ]

“Why are you so worked up, babe?” Karen asked from the other side of the bed. The couple usually read for a while before going to sleep, but tonight Brandon had turned off the light on his bedside table and rolled his body toward the darkness and brooded.

“Kids have spills all the time. It’s practically a rite of childhood.” Karen continued, sensing his mood and guessing his thoughts as she often did.

The dump truck he had nearly traded paint with was pacing him now. The driver leaned over in his seat to look at Brandon through the window in the base of the door. He probably wanted to give Brandon a few driving tips: as in ‘driving’ the ‘tip’ of his boot into Brandon’s ass.

Hi. Intresting article.

Did you write it, or is it from the A&E Coalition??

If you wrote it, I would suggest a change of wording.
[3. It is common knowledge in many places of India shoe making has been enforced on Dalits as caste labour. Though we recognize the dignity of labour including shoe making we strongly condemn any human labour enforced on any people as a caste duty based on birth and descent. ]
Is there a policy by the Gov. that 'enforces' this practice? Or are they mearly 'forced' to do it.
'Enforced' seems to me to be the wrong choice of words... I could be wrong in my thinking. If so, a few words added to that section would make it clear.

Hi...
An intresting piece on a place I'd love to visit.
I did see a few...(easy to fix)... problems.

indents... I put {indent} at the start of my posts, high-lite and copy. Then using the arrow keys I go down and (Ctr-v) to paste them on the new lines.
Read this over and you will see where a new (indented?)line should have been used.
I have made a few comments in blue



[Today the senses were overwhelmed with sounds and smells, like ]...
suggest 'On that day' or something. 'Today is 'now' not then

[ A large group from the UK of young chaps were drinking beer ]...
sugg... 'group of young chaps from the UK, were...'

[that he was no friend of mine.
Day 2 was a bit slow going, waking ]...
sugg a line break..(dbl-space) between segments like this

[Finally, the mosquitoes chase into our hammocks. ]...
sugg 'chased us' into..

[not disturb the fragile shores. The poor natives that live along the shores paddle out to ]...
repitition...'shores'... sugg..'natives who live 'there'

In several places your comma placment was off. Read the lines out loude. You will 'here' the pause between words. (an example) [ which tore at my heartstrings. Returning to mind the passion, I had as a child for the homeless] here you could have continued the thought 'tore at my heartstrings', with a comma. (heartstrings, returning my mind to the passion I had for the homeless as a child.)... as written, 'I had as a child'' seems to be a seperate thought with missing words.
Also there were many places where a new line (indented??) should have been used.. example..
[suppose, but luckily, nobody was hurt. The Fortaleza Hotel had showers,] As you can see, 'The Fortaleza Hotel' is a completly new thought, and should not be on the same line, but a new one.

Review of The Collision

Hi
I was asked to look at this and give you a few examples of active v passive voice.
I'm far from expert, but here are my thoughts...in blue


[A war has commenced between our separate beings. The first battalion of our forces has begun its fight in earnest. ]passive...'has begun' active... 'is beginning to fight'

[My body has fought against the approaching collision, ]pass... 'has fought' active.. 'is fighting' or 'My body faught against'

[ I have given it up to you now, and in this slow death, there is a sweet torture ]all active

[The war has ended. In the aftermath of our battling, a new me has emerged. The sweet collisions of our beings has created a new life. ]active.. 'a new me emerged'... 'beings creating a new'

[ The body that died in our collision has been resurrected into]passive..'has been'.. active...'was resurrected'...(note.. you can't get away from the occational use of 'was', therefore 'was' is not necessarily passive, but should be avoided when possible.)

[. But there was no death in my old mind, there was an expansion through the gift of your creation,]
repitition...'there was'... suggest.. 'in my old mind, just an expansion'

Hi.
Intresting start.
This one needs some work, but that's why we're here... Right?
(You should have seen my... ah... writing? before WDC reviewers 'hammered' me. Now some of my work is 'almost good'. "grinnn")

I will do an 'in-depth' rev. by private e-mail, so it won't be on the Public Rev. Page.
I will make a few comments here.

1st... Each time the subject, or speaker, changes, it MUST be on a new line. [a new paragraph... indented]

2nd... The use of 's' words.. [ Very lightly Tulia lands beside her companion. Staying out of sight of the very perceptive creeäle, the little white breasted blue bird takes flight in pursuit of its subject.]
This seems to be 'stage directions'. ie.. "Now in this next scene, Tula lands beside her companion."
better .. [Landing beside her companion, Tula was careful to stay out of sight ]

3rd... Single quotes? When someone speaks, it is "..." not '...'. Single quotes are used for a statment within a spoken line... "Lea was all smiles, then she said, 'You'd better not tell.' I just laughed at that. We both knew I would just 'have' to tell someone."
They can be used to high-lite words as I have done above.

Hi.
This is.. or could be.. an intresting yarn.
BUT..... In one block of text? No paragraph breaks? No indents?
These are things you 'must do' to make your work readable.
Even though it was told 1st person, each time another speaks, it is a new..'indented'.. line.

I'm not trying to be mean or nasty. I would love to re-read this when you break it into paragraphs ect.
I found a few 'redundant' words... no spelling errors... And had it been properly done, I would have made a 'line-item review'. Many on WDC have thanked me for my honest reviews, and suggestions.
