story review
cover- plain, but elegant
editing- the paragraphs seem to be all bunched together. Your paragraphs should be spaced out. Also, characters conversing and actual story should be separate. If these two factors remain blended together, that can annoy the reader and they'd quickly lose interest.
overall- a beautifully written story. Good job!
Congrats to being one of the first annual summer prompt contest winners!
