*Note1* My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

*Reading* THE STORY

Ted and Frank have been up to no good and go to a fix-it place in hopes of fixing their problem.

*Smile*WHAT I LIKED

The story built suspense well. I was dying to know what they broke!

*Star* POV NARRATION/TENSE

This is told in the 3rd person omnisicent. Past tense is used in the story.

*Star*DIALOGUE

The dialogue drives the story. Dialogue tags are used to add little highlights.

*Star*OPENING

The opening intrigues the reader - what strange place are Ted and Frank in? (side note: I just thought Bill might be a better sidekick for Ted, recalling the Bill & Ted movies) Once you find out the place, then the element of suspense comes out.

*Star*CHARACTERS

Ted and Frank have a good heart, but you can tell they've been up to some mischief.


*Star*FLOW & PACING

The opening set up the problem, the middle set on a solution and end wasn't for Ted and Frank. Well done.

*Star*MECHANICS

I did not notice and spelling/punctuation mistakes. My only suggestion here, and it's minor and a matter of style - maybe increase the font a little to make it easier on the eyes to read.

*Star*PARTING THOUGHTS

The title fits the story. For a Flash, nice character development using dialogue. Kept me guessing right up until the end! A suspense short that will leave the reader smiling.
