At first the only thing I notice is the bars." <br /><br />Those two sentences contradict each other. I recommend deleting one of them. <br /><br />You've got nice scene setting in these six sentences. Already I'm picturing a dry, slightly red-looking landscape. But I'm wondering how the bars got so rusted in a dry area. <br /><br />The details are really good. Love the "invisible wall of dry heat."Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261759171411084998noreply@blogger.com
