@morey-lezama your story holds many descriptive paragraphs that are almost lyrically vivid. However, your story is one hundred percent narrative; not a single line of dialogue. This week’s skills challenge is to write great dialogue. A good short story has certain hallmarks : a combination of action, dialogue and narrative. Obviously, the story should also have a good arc. Your writing is good, but you should work on your structure.

The Ink Well also requires each author to comment on at least two stories.
