Very well thought out and the start of an exciting starting chapter. I visualise a man approaching middle age with no love interest of his one and his hair thinning he believes to be one of the reasons. Good start.

Good work mate. Lovely seeing Cody stories back again. Hope I have not missed any. You did direct me to the Boiler room series from memory. Thanks again. Trying to get a final chapter of my biography finished.

Awfully short chapter. Could be twice as long and still very readable. So, Justin is a janitor or building maintenance guy? He's shown doing his job and nothing more, so far. :)

Hi Brett,

You might want to remove your opening statement from this piece directing people to your other work. This is a means of identifying you as the author of this piece which would disqualify you from your own competition...

Just a heads up. Nice piece though.

    Gireff,

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Unfortunately, because Cody is so popular on this site, just writing a new book about him may get me disqualified from my own contest.

I didn't find anything by way of spags or typos. But being a gal, I had my problems with the things described:

Tow hitches were the primary items produced by Astatula's largest employer. Many of the denizens of the small town gravitated toward laboring at the plant. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, components were processed. Other items fabricated by Castillo Metalworks included tow balls, tow pins, tow hooks, the tow pintles that many of the employees used for their farming equipment, and tow hitches.


I had to keep on looking up meanings - which made the reading a bit of a "task". Just me, not you and your work.

A strong introductory chapter and insight into one of the central characters.
The opening seems quite normal and run of the mill.
Cody has had quite an eventful life so far so let,s see what this book brings for him.
Formatting and dialogue are appropriate.

    "quite normal and run of the mill". Good, that is the atmosphere I wanted to create with this portion of Chapter One.
