Starlit Night10 Years AgoPrologue
Adora looked around herself; she could see all the people who frowned upon her. Her wrists hurt. She could feel the hard bite of the course ropes. She had struggled to free herself from their bondage. Her wrists were bleeding, her head ached. A guard to her back, she looked down at her shackled feet. She could see her father in the crowd, frowning. He stared at her. What did he think of her? She didn’t want to know. She knew it couldn’t be anything other than how disappointed he was in her. She had never been enough for him. She couldn’t see Anica anywhere. She could see Yuri and mama crying in the crowd as hecklers threw rotten vegetables at her. A bloated tomato nicked her on the chin and splattered all over her shoulder. Tears rolled down her cheek, as the executioner approached. She was forced down to her knees. She thought to herself "what a way to die?". How she wished she had said good bye to everyone before she went. Her head was upon the chopping block. The executioner raised his axe high. She locked eyes with her father, a tear trickled down his cheek. Her eyes widened, the axe came down. |

Re: Prologue10 Years AgoIt's interesting enough for me. Really gets my heart going. I feel sadness and regret for the characters even though I don't know them at all. I feel in the short space of time you had my attention you managed to grab it, and that's very important.
Now for the technical aspect. There are a few grammatical errors in here. course=coarse Commas used inappropriately and sentence structure is at times awkward. Could use a vocabulary boost because the words are very plain. |
