Hi everyone, My name is James Conroy and I am 17, from Ireland. I was recently assigned a short story to write by my English teacher, with the topic: "Write a short story about two unusual or eccentric characters meeting for the first time". It took me a little under 3 hours to write, and I put a lot of effort and passion into it. This is the first "real" short story I've written and I'm pretty happy with it. I plan to write more short stories in my free time and if I hear that people like it then it will motivate me even more to write.
I am requesting a critical review of my work. If you have the time, I would greatly appreciate it if you could give my story a read and let me know what you think.
I've uploaded the PDF to Dropbox as it would be difficult to format it on these forums. Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/glhoclc8lr0... I hope this will not appear as spam, as it is for the benefit of me as a writer. I am not seeking any financial benefits from this.
Please note that this may appear a bit rushed in parts due to length restrictions (max one extra page). In my state examinations, I am limited to writing a short story/essay within 70 minutes.
I hope you enjoy my writing and I look forward to your review of my work.
