This was a very well written story. In only a few words, you managed to establish 5 different characters, and there's definitely enough here to expand into more stories in the future.

Unfortunately, I don't think it fits the theme very well at all. You have a single set of protagonists and a single set of antagonists, and both feel pretty monolithic. With more space to develop your characters, you might be able to make Donoghue and Fenton feel like unlikely allies, but all you've managed in the space given is to establish that they're not the best of friends.

Hopefully you join future writing jams, I really appreciated your writing ability.

Thanks for your feedback and positivity! I am trying to get into writing at the moment, and this is my first piece in this setting. My other few have been a few children's poems.
Yes - I struggled to make the unlikely allies theme the forefront. TBH my version of unlikely allies is quite nuanced at best lol
The idea was that Donoghue and his "mate" Zahir were secondary versions of unlikely allies, and the main one being Donoghue trying to help Fenton. It was not a strong enough job by me, especially compared to the other stories i've read where its often right in your face! But I suppose I need to learn to hit the brief properly instead of write my own version :)
