Your story provides an interesting storyline about the the one girl's disorder. It's a topic people need to consider.

I'm having trouble understanding the second sentence on page one. You might want to consider revising it. On page seven, I notice that you have the past and present tense in the same paragraph.

I wish you much success with your story.

Hi Patricia,

Thanks for those pick ups. I'll be going through again with my editing eyes. I have tried to keep the present tense and am greatful for you noticing. Bek :)

I enjoyed the story also. The errors I saw in weak ending and the typo on pg 7 were addressed in previous comments. You did a good job bringing Jessie's feelings to the table. Good work.

A good short story that clearly tells what came before and what lies ahead.

Bek :)

The last sentence is a bit lame I think - "With that I leave the hospital cafeteria". Maybe you could make it more dramatic or tragic. Rather than just "leave" you could perhaps use a word... mehr anzeigen
