The Catacombs - Short Story

Link for story via Fiction Press

FictionPress.Com : The Catacombs

This story is to be my second novel, much more fleshed out and atmospheric this was a school assignment. I'd been itching to tell the story and this helped a lot. Also allowed me to express a few of my nightmares, some subtly.

Let me know what you think, tell me what you think. I can take it.

Hmm. That's pretty cool. It definitely felt too compressed, but I understand you had a page limit. Most assignments are word limits, not pages, so could you still be in high school?
His relationship with his wife needs to be built up more so we can understand his pain and loss more realistically and with more depth of feeling for the reader.
Too many adjectives used throughout.
Good read, though. You should probably copy and past the text here. Most people won't read a link.

It's high school. I flunked out of high school for personal reasons. I'm finishing it online right now...it's far too easy. Looking forward to University. Gonna need all 90's and a good portfolio for the program I want.


I tried to copy/paste the text but it was over the limit...my novel would never work posted on here like that. All my stuff will be linked.
