Hello iKïyå§ama
Thank you for taking the time to enter the
January 2025 round of the
"Invalid Item" 
.
Enclosed please find the following official judges' review, for your consideration.
Positives
The detail and description in your story was excellent, creating a vivid and specific image in the reader's mind. I also thought the character development and the dialogue were realistic and engaging.
Suggestions
The "horror/scary" elements of this genre piece felt a little muted. For me, the genre more than anything is defined by an atmosphere of tension, dread, etc. and I didn't get as much of that as I was hoping from a story written for a Horror/Supernatural prompt where something "scary or spooky" was going on. I would have loved for those genre elements to really be exploited a little more.
Overall
Overall, this was a solid, well-written story with excellent detail description and good character work. Nice job!
I hope you've found this review helpful, and thank you again for entering the contest!
Respectfully,
Jeff
