Comment on Sullied Hands by ~ZeroX16

Hmmm, Well I like the premise. A few things that bothered me

Skin tight B.D.U.s? am I supposed to know what that is?

You're trying to paint a picture, but the dialog seems heavy handed to me. Instead of guiding me to my own conclusions, you bash me over the head with facts. It takes you out of the story, do we really need to know it's a 9mm Berretta?

The "voice" of mort in this piece seems fairly casual, like he was all "oh my god, you had to see it!" Just relating what happened isn't enough to evoke feeling in your reader.

I saw the zombie thing a mile away :)

But yea, try it again, I'd read it.

Hah thanks, its been over a year since i wrote anything and I know this sucked, and besides that it was one in the morn when i did write it. Oh and sorry for the words you dont get. B.D.U means battle dress uniform. And I know I should have said uniform or sumthin instead. Thanks for the critique. I need to get back in practice so expect a better version of this soon.
