I appreciate the feedback! I think with my time constraint I hadn’t even noticed, but will keep in mind for the next one!

I think there is something really strong in the works here. I love the thought of first personal internal monologue that this started with, though it did get wordy and hard to follow as it continued. Then the switch to third person action was really displacing. Would love to see this fleshed out and reworked a bit.
I love the idea behind this one, but it was a tough read… the dialogue felt very unnatural, the ending was unsatisfying, and the writing errors (punctuation, spelling, tense switch) took me out of the story as well.
I think there is an awesome story here, as the thought of a human interrogator trying to get info from a Havoc Brother is titillating, but I think this needs to be edited around some more. Would love to see this given a bit more time!
This was superbly written, very intimate, and wonderful to read. I do wish the ending had gone further, maybe into mission prep with the horse or something along those lines, to drive the point home even more. Additionally, while I understand the “use what you got,” tagline was meant to state the Jam’s theme, I personally thought it didn’t explore more with ‘creative resources’.
I enjoyed the concept of this story, but feel like the two perspectives in a 1000-word constraint lessened it for me. I think it would’ve been a lot more impactful with a full page from either character’s point of view. A few grammar/punctuation corrections, as well as the above protagonist focus, and I think this can be a super fun read!
