Bloodrain... Credited Review
You have an interesting title and a very interesting story, but it was rushed and in need of some detailed planning. The structure needs a lot of work. The story feels too compressed, needs space to flourish and to steal away the reader's imagination. I would like to read this tale again if you can flesh out the story and rework the plot. Describe your protagonist and antagonist in more detail, as well as your settings. Build on the love she feels for her husband.
You can space out the dialogue by giving it its own line rather than compacting it into paragraphs. This would ease the structure and make the story more readable.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Overall it wasn’t a bad read and I hope that you can work on it again, which will make it so much better... read

    Kevin I reckon they should create a new section where the person with the most short story uploads should be mentioned. That or I should get paid just to review your stories...Just kidding! Body Parts was very interesting. It was short and sweet. I would’ve preferred a longer story with more detail and descriptions. There is lots of room in this tale that can make for a better... read
