Action packed, fast passed and very fin to read. It got straight to the point and did everything it set out to do perfectly.
Loved it!
that’s the best tactical use of a mirror I’ve seen in while.
This was a fun read!
This was really fun to read!
This was a very snappy, well-written action piece. Some of the lines drew a laugh from me ("right up his underhive!" was amazing) and the characterization of our protagonist was spot-on. It was also a clever take on the 'reflection' theme. If I had a complaint, it would be that the two factions' characterizations are played very straight (well, we're only seeing the Brutes through Fraya's eyes) and throwing in some personal element to set Fraya at least apart as an individual would have been nice.
Really enjoyed this little shootout
ending was a little quick, but others have already said that
but seriously guys, watch your braids...
Entertaining :)
...right up his underhive!
Classic. :D
I greatly enjoyed reading this story. As someone who is unfamiliar with GDF, I didnt feel lost any point as I read about the characters, gangs, and locations. The setting and situation were presented quickly but without the feeling of an exposition dump, weaving into the situation nicely.
As mentioned in another comment, the ending felt abrupt. Possibly some of the initial detail on how the plan had gone awry could have been sacrificed for the word count at the end, but the story's initual pacing would have suffered as a result. Such is the challenge of a one page story.
Regardless of the one critique, the overall result is well executed and a great read. Bravo!
Love the cyberpunk feel of the story.
Excellent story! Love the multiple uses of reflection. The pacing is great, and the touches of humor (her braid! lol!) were well placed.
If I had to nitpick, I could only point out a few places you overlooked in editing ("can't a girl can look good") which I'm sure comes down to the time constraints involved. The ending could probably use a bit more punch, too, but again, that's a nitpick.
Great job! Loved the story.
That's great, thank you very much. That typo is so annoying! I thought I'd proofread it so thoroughly too... I definitely agree about the end, but I was right up against the wordcount limit.
