I'm confused. I thought the entire piece was your character talking to another person, giving their background. But toward the end, you didn't indent to indicate that the conversation your main character was having with Isaac was separate from the main paragraph. You had a few run-on sentences. E.g. 'But it was comfortable, until the war started, death and rubble everywhere, people mourning over their lost treasures, the ashes of the deceased, not long later, that they burned all the houses, I was lucky to make it out alive, and with the skill from my mother and father, I just kept running and running until I couldn't see the fire, later, I seen a angry mob of civilians rioting against the "new" government.'
Maybe, instead, try: 'But it was comfortable. That was, until the war started. (New paragraph) Death and rubble was everywhere, people were mourning over their lost treasures; the ashes of the deceased clung to everything, hung in the air. Not long after that, they burned all the houses. I was lucky to make it out alive, mostly in part to the skills my mother and father had passed onto me. (New paragraph) I just kept running and running until I couldn't see the fire. Sometime after the fire faded, I caught sight of an angry mob of civilians. They were rioting against the 'new' government."
That is much more logically and reads so much better.
I'm curious to see what your story entails, but you definitely need to read up on punctuation, grammar, and how to use tense correctly (the time in which the story takes place, i.e. past, present, or future). I wish you all the best. |
