I genuinely really hate the way she starts off that excerpt.
"This whole thing...it was just like..."
What the fuck is that, Kayla? I can't think of a more unappealing way to invite someone into a piece of writing. It reads like a text message.
Sorry for the double-post but here you go, Kayla, I tried to fix your fucking prose. Please read a book. If you were a regular reader, the corrections I've injected would have been second nature. Also flames don't "bellow", pretty sure you meant "billow".
This scenario was painfully familiar.
“Mom! Dad!” Galo's own voice howled within himself, recalling desperation as flames consumed his home. Noxious blue and purple billowed through narrow streets, sparking memories from that day, years ago.
“Calm down, I've got you.” The voice had sounded indignant more than anything- as if Galo needed evidence his hero was full of shit!
Then he was alone, an unlucky survivor. Would this child endure a similar fate? Did they have anywhere to turn, after losing so much?
I have to do something. Anything.
