I like the idea of telling a story through an interrogation. It gives good opportunities for flashbacks and tying things together in interesting ways. Unfortunately, since the story needs to be kept brief, I don't think it quite gets where it needs to.
I will say that the Red Riding Hood bit was quite clever and I enjoyed that immensely as an ending!
Thank you. I was thinking about taking some Public Domain characters and placing them in a GDF tale. If I had more space it would flow better. I'll probably rewrite it
Interesting mysteries being set up, but I need a bit more than just talking for a story personally. It's hard for me to grasp tone and relationships without a few more descriptions and/or actions.
I personally find it really difficult to engage in stories that are all dialogue as with little description I don't engage with the characters. More setup would help readers like me engage with the scenario
I loved the interrogation folding into the rest of the scene, although it was kind of hard to follow.
Thank you for the review. I was going for flashbacks with the dialogue shifts
Interesting take on the unseen aspects of war and its ripple effects! The dialogue kept the pace brisk, though at times it was a bit challenging to track the plot shifts. Good embodiment of the theme with a strong message on accountability and consequences.
"In War, Everywhere is the Front Line." I thought of that line in terms of this type of setting. I enjoy the "We shouldn't have done that, man." type of tales. I was also going for the idea of Urban Warfare have a mental effect on troops. I wish I had more space but I'll rewrite this in the future so it flows better.
