Writing was crisp - solid - the writer knows his/her stuff.

The story was okay - but this is clearly a tough parameter and a short schedule.

Good cfraftsmanship

I have no idea what a "G4S" uniform is.

Not sure I like the way you wrote the character's dialogue and their contractions.

Pretty dark story, which I prefer.

Umm wow that was dark.  I didn't care for your protagonist so that's a problem.

I can't add much more but to say I preferred the other one.

Well written, ticks the boxes on this challenge, though I'm not sure Jack qualifies as a "guardian" angel.

Dark as others have said. Liked it but didn't really have an emotional reaction to it.

Wow, that was weird and messed up. I liked it. Dialogue was quite good for the most part.


That rug really tied the room together.

Why is Kaz on top bunk? This writer clearly doesn't know how annoying it is to be so close to the lights and have to jump up and down all the time to get in and out of bed. The better bunk is the bottom.

All very cheesy, low rent drama so far. Lines are bad. Circumstances are poor. Oh, man, now it's exposition. I lost interest by the end.

That was cool. Not quite sure that Jack would be considered a guardian angel but cool none the less. The dialog in accent didn't really let me read effortlessly, which would have been better. Was there true value to having such a hard accent?

Nice work for the 48 hours limit. Good job.

This was okay, I think I liked the other one better but since it was disqualified I guess this one will be the winner! I didn't care for the accents in the dialogue, and I'm wondering if Jack was a 'guardian' angel 'cause he sure didn't seem like one. Too bad these had to be short, I was kind of wondering where this one was going.

Cell Mates

Short notes: I enjoyed Kaz and the later main villain "ghost" Jack. Lara on the other side was unremarkable to me, she could need some shape. Storywise, it could improve with some more focus in picture, where is who, how get a better overview between cell, doorway, landing, which wasn't so clear to me as a storyline expression although I principally understood all of the action. In general, the little scenario you developed works well.

@ after reading your criteria I must do some adjustments, as I ironically also did toward your opponent's assessment.

For not including a guardian angel, which is a well-minded being to me, and rather replacing it with a dark angel in the core of the story and its expression, I reduce your score here for not less than 5 points.
