lol interesting one! I liked the way it tied together, and John was a very comical character XD I found that you changed tenses a few times... here's an example. "I was unsure of him doing anything at all that I almost felt the surge to feel his pulse. Disappointed, you let out warm air thorough your mouth and focus your attention towards the Judge." --> the POV changes from 'I' to 'you', try to pick one or the other. Other than that, the story was very well overall :D

Also, at that time when I relied earlier, I didn't have enough time... Thank you for the review. I wrote this story is just an hour... So yeah. What do you think, am I improving as a writer? Another thing, how have you been? ( I have noticed that I don't ask people who I came about this question and keep on renting about myself, SORRY! )

Okay...noice. Thanks AC! I know your going through a rough patch, just think of all the people who love you and who are always there for you. There are people in your family, your friends and people here, on Reedsy. Just think about when you went off from here. Everyone was so devastated. Now think about how they reacted when you came back. They were all exuberant..... So, you're not alone. Everyone in your life has a purpose. Stay strong You're stronger than this, girl.... Enough motivation talk, NOW WHERE IS MY REQUESTED PFP? {I ...

Hey Dhwani! Amazing story plot with all the funny scenes and all! Some things to note are your spelling. 1. "The case of the lost artefacts from the museum is something that our best detectives have not been able to solve." should be "artifact" 2."“Hellp all! I am officer Sotiye. " change to 'Help' 3. "Let the games begin! ” You put the '"' to far apart from the word. 4. "‘You just need to handle him for ten days, L. Just ten days.’' Maybe change to this "You only need to handle him for ten days. You can survive that... right?" Other...
