A powerful story, I cannot help with the skills of prose, grammar, or punctuation, so I only go on the story, and I like the way you have added fear to fear itself, very well done, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Wow! This story, Survived, But New Fear Unlocked, is a truly horrifying event that would drive anyone insane, thinking she is in the middle of her own grisly murder. I see it is listed as fiction, which I hope it is, but the competition doesn't specify nonfiction.

I rated this story with 5 stars for content. Unfortunately, thousands can and will relate to this story. to gain even more impact, learn to write active, not passive. Put your thoughts into italics - that puts the reader inside your head - rather than write, 'I thought'. Show the reader your panic, don't tell or explain it. Let the reader into your heart to feel the panic, the terror, don't explain it. I hope that makes sense. This piece deserves to be honed because the message is real. Also, I wouldn't add the personal "happy ending" sentences at the end. I'm happy you have experienced your happy ending, however, let the story stand on its own. Keep writing! It's very therapeutic!
