Hello! I got these scores like a week ago, sorry I'm just now posting them! I've been really busy. School just started back up, but without further ado let us begin!

Phantom Calls by Broomstick21362
Violet Blues by Kihi-98
I am Dreaming by kathyverne

Review: This wouldn't be categorized as a short story. It was a one piece, a standalone. The flow was good, and everything in general. I really liked it, the simplicity. Nothing too fancy.

Review: It started out well, the flow was great, I didn't feel like stopping in between. Unnecessary swearing. Overdone theme. The end was abrupt, I was thinking there would be a twist now, but there wasn't. If the end is fixed, and the story lengthened a bit, I feel this could be a lot better. I have faith in the writer.

Review: The fact that it's a short story which is also nonfiction made it quite powerful. I found it very inspiring. I think, with just a teeny bit of edits here and there, working on the book description, it'll be greater than it is now.
It is... Drumroll please 🥁🥁🥁...

They were one shots. So I averaged it out. They were short, sweet. One of them caught my attention in particular called cemetery. Good job, entertaining.
