- FrustratedEgoRoyal Road★★★ 2.5The story is short (as described) - a total of five thousand words and not a penny more. This isn't good or bad, for lots of action is packed into the text. That's a plus in terms of story - it goes quick, moves quicker and don't have enough content or time to drag. So, woo! To repeat the storyline - action, people talking, more action, guns, and more talking, action, brief snark, woosh, ending.
Minor sense descriptions could have been added. I generally have no clue what anyone looks like and the only color described is a black gun in the beginning. Hair colors are thrown in occasionally but the character descriptions are super trimmed down. This makes sense from a literal short story point of view, but also made the text far to punch-punch-shoot focused.
There's a small symmetry between both chapters adding a brief dash of humor. There's some repetition and extra/missing punctuation. Generally the right words are used. I feel almost dirty writing an advanced review on such a short story - but it seems to be finished - so whatever I tell you, whatever.
In the time it took you to read the review, you could have risked the first chapter and been half way through - if not more. It's not like you have better things to do, right? I mean, the cover is kind of awesome...
