What do you think of my story?
Great Story. I like the radio part. I like how you write your female characters to be strong brave women, I just love that you do that. Well I think Steph would run back to her room after seeing a girl hanging, but you suggested that they had already finished eating their meal, so maybe that part would be something like Steph went back to her dorm room and cleaned up the dishes to try and get her mind off what she just saw. (When people witness something traumatic they need routine, they need to do something normal, so she would not likely have finished eating, it wouldn't be likely that she could eat, but cleaning up the mess would seem more logical), Steph wouldn't want to think of the ghost. Wait....I like the part where Steph screams when the boy is shaking the bed, and then she screams again louder, but then what......... you just left us hanging. Maybe Ken comforts her so she can go back to sleep, or maybe she goes and sleeps somewhere else. It is not likely that Steph would have wanted to sleep in that same bed after that. You need to add something more there. I love this story, you are improving so much as a writer. I liked the ending, I think it makes sense that college kids would just move out of the dorm. It also sets the story up for a continuation. You can pick the story up some other time and tell what happens to Steph or Ken when they move from the dorms, maybe a spirit follows them to their new place, maybe a spirit follows them to cles, it leaves you open to revisit this story later. Great job, Great story.
