Hey Alexander. I'm a newbie learning the ropes so I don't know much about anything, take what I say with a pinch of salt. I'll also leave formatting things as I'm still getting my head around that as well, although on first glance, to me at least, it looked OK.
I actually think this is a solid start, it zipped along pretty well and a breeze to read. I liked the set up with the false lead (what do they call that?), and thought you created a good image of what was going on - I was there the whole way even if the ending was maybe a little predictable.
One thing I thought was slightly off was the age of Gemma. For a 20 year-old who is pierced, wears a crude t-shirt, edgy etc, I thought the dialogue was perhaps a little naive, or juvenile for her look/age. Not a big thing for me in the scheme of things, just something I sensed.
Keep going, you've got a natural story telling ability which over time is going to serve you well.
Yeah I'm a big fan of shows like Inside No 9 and The Twilight Zone and so I think that twisted humour comes across here. Yeah maybe I could have altered Gemma's appearance slightly to better fit the dialogue. I will indeed carry on, appreciate the feedback thanks. By the way feel free to have a look at my other stories...
