A nicely delivered story. What a scary experience. Thank goodness it didn't turn out to be anything sinister! Thank you for taking our guidance on board regarding your choice of images and thank you for supporting other writers in the community :-) Two points to note for future reference: (1) Commas do not always follow dialogue. They do though if not other punctuation has been used to end the dialogue. In your story you have added commas immediately after exclamation marks and periods. This should not happen. Have you tried using Grammarly or writing in Google Docs to identify these issues? I would recommend it to elavate your writing BUT don't be tempted to use any functionality that suggests rephrasing, improving, fluency, or restructuring sentences and these will flag as AI in our detection software. (2) We recommend that writers stick to a minimum word count of 750 words to avoid the risk of their pieces falling short in one or more elements of good fiction writing.
Thank you for writing in The Ink Well. We look forward to your next piece 🙂
Thank you Inkwell. Thank you for your corrections. I'll definitely see to my use of punctuations and also download Grammarly app. I really appreciate this.
