Yes, the dialogue is nice in places, and the stage of life analogy was strong for me, but you really do need to polish up on spelling and punctuation – some of your longer bits of dialogue have no punctuation at all!
Because it’s your first piece, because I like the premise – because the CONTENT is there, I give a 3. But for future, really pay attention to detail, it makes the reading experience easier and more enjoyable… MH :)
Good premise and an enjoyable story. I’m going to have to agree with previously posted comments however. Work on grammar and what-not and it will flow much better.
I think I’m in line with the other commentators that it was a neat idea and an overall good piece with some polishing needed to really make it good. For me the assassin’s monologue’s got a bit long and obtuse for my liking.
