Afraid to battle, or to face the new challenges in life. Maybe you don’t want to admit your fear, because the new challenge excites you, but you aren’t ready for the first step. I love the detail about the gym lights. :) I think you meant IN high school in the first line. You’re going to have to tackle something, something big, and you don’t want to.
Yeah, the gym light description really worked. I think, though, that this story, while descriptive and atmospheric, doesn’t have a particularly compelling hook (commas!). Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think this story is long enough to get across what you need to hook me in. Right now the only thing is the dream, that’s it, and dreams out of context don’t have much of a storyline.
What I mean to say is that this story is in between “standalone” and “begging for a sequel.”
Hopefully that comment wasn’t too ambiguous. I did like the story; it’s written in a realistic voice.
Yeah, truthfully, I was struggling with an ending. I wanted to experiment with describing the adrenaline rush feeling in writing, and I ended up giving away a good ending for the sake of trying to describe that feeling.
I’ll probably write a sequel, since it seems I have so much time to write a comment that is easily ambiguous as yours Stovo. :]
