Is there a reason for the specific wardobe list in description, or is just to describe him as beige and brown and uptight?

About the size of a head...
Surely this has to be a nod to Seven?

Maybe a contraction here:
Wow, it is light.

I liked the Bond line, and this one:
That’s weirdly specific.

So, the subservient will survive. Ha! Obedience will be rewarded.
Reads a bit like a rush job, especially with the white space, p.6. Perhaps there's more to the story?
Dialogue was pretty easy on the ear, couple of tweaks maybe:

But it could have been dangerous.
Don't think you need the 'but'.

Maybe a bit more description/ conversation re the box at the top between the two? No post marks, distinguishing marks etc.?

I like the finish with the screams outside. He wasn't the only recipient of a box.

I don't know, this is so screwball it kinda' works. Bit more work on this one you might have a goody.

Hi,

This was a strange one for me, didn't wholly get the story but maybe I was just missing the point. Generic characters but some decent dialogue but nothing that would make me think that it was outstanding.

Use the other four pages to expand on things, it means you're not taking shortcuts trying to cram your story into just six pages.

Well done.


If at first you don't succeed........bribe someone.

Sorry writer  I missed this one.  

A couple have an argument about whether to open a box or not... and voila it's a sphere and for some reason the wife is dead and the husband is saved???
Which is why men are always right

The dialogue wasn't bad, just didn't really come off as natural between a married couple. Overall an interesting premise and the writing was good.

Good job on entering

Can't argue with any of what's been said above, though I thought it was an okay read, I got through it in no time at all without tripping too much. I just think a bit more clarity is needed. And tweak the dialogue. All of this is just a way of saying it needs to be fleshed out a bit more. IMO. Best of Irish luck.-A
