Overall, I thought the author displayed a talent to put words together. If English is his/her second language then I commend the author for having a better command of language and grammar than many who claim English as their primary language.
There were a few words spelled so poorly that they destroyed a sentence. For example, “Mark gave her a light slab into the face.” I assume the author meant to use the word “slap” instead of “slab”. Another example, “ . . . and shacked her head roughly . . .” I assume here that the author intended to use the word “shook” instead of “shacked”.
I liked the development of the characters that set the tone for their moods. However, I thought the buildup did not have a payoff that was worthy of the overall journey.
But, again, I give credit for the author’s ability to string words together. I think there are good stories within this ability that are waiting to get out.
(8/10)

I'd agree you were mistreated by grinner666. For spelling all I could find was the use of dept. for debt, loose for lose, and perhaps frizzle for sizzle (depending on if the eggs were burnt,)
I also suspect English may not be your first language because of some word choices. If that's the case you deserve a higher score from me. I'd suggest having a friend proof read your stories before posting just as a general rule to catch any minor glitches.
This is a fine story and the problems are very minor. (8/10)

- Hi,
you're right - English is not my first language. So I really thank you for your review and your hints.

Unfair review by grinner666, I think. Spelling and grammar are OK. Actually not a bad story at all. Not really my thing, but good rating appropriate. (9/10)
