I'd say you're a great deal stronger in the artistic sense than you are
in the craftsmanship end of writing. You've still got many sentence
fragments in your descriptive passages, and abrupt changes in tense
within your paragraphs. I'm prepared to go through the whole thing and
identify all the errors I spot. Before I do, though, I have a few
questions to ask.
1. Do you want me to?
2. Do you want to keep your sentence fragments to create a specific
effect? If so, I won't mention them, although I don't much like the
effect myself.
3. What tense did you intend to write your story in? While the
sentence fragments could be a legitimate stylistic choice, shifting
tenses in the course of a single sentence or paragraph isn't, really.
However, I'm having trouble determining which tense you intended.
4. Would you prefer a private detailed commentary?
I'm writing this publicly to get one important message out to everyone
else writing:
Pick a tense for your story and stick to it, unless you are doing
something like a flashback, dream, or shifting from narration to
character monologue. Tense confusion is the bane of many otherwise good
writers.
