English: a language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages & rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary.

Dear Reader, I come to you today to give my humbly authoritative knowledge on the race of Homo sapiens that is so dearly called writers. It is in my experience that while writers share an unrealistically high self image, not all acquire and display it in the same ways. As I have painstakingly done research for many years, I have come to the conclusion that no one else should suffer such as I have. Therefore, it is my great pleasure to introduce you to the knowledge of distinguishing the right...

Another day is here and I don’t really know where to go or what to do. It’s just…here. Better than most, yet so far behind the rest is how I feel every day. I work and I work and I work some more. It’s not that I don’t see results. It’s that I see no end. “Could you spare some change for gas? I need to get myself away from this place!” That’s how my favorite part of Smashmouth’s song “All Star” goes. Ha! I smile every time I hear it. Who doesn’t need to get away from this place? Depressed isn...

For two years I hadn’t talked to him; hadn’t looked at him; hadn’t acknowledged his existence. At parties, open houses, holiday gatherings and just plain old hanging out with the group of close friends we shared, there we were, happy and with the crowd, but not each other. We dodged and ducked, and when no one was around that day in the library, he gave me a look like he wanted to me to die while I whispered to my teammates that he was THE ex-boyfriend and defended our relationship when they ...

What exactly is there to live for? I thought. Shit at work isn’t so hot. I can’t get laid to save my life. Bills are piling up out of nowhere. What’s the fucking point anymore? Why not just end my life right now? As I lay in bed, contemplating on killing myself, the lamp on the nightstand to my left flickered. I figured it was just the electricity about to go out for the fourth time in six months due to me not paying the bill on time, so when it did I didn’t budge. “This room is about as dark...

There are a few grammatical errors, including the misspelling of prey & they're (you have pray in the 1st paragraph & their in the 6th paragraph). Anywho, something you should think about is character development. It seems like you want to write Lucius as a strong character, but right now I'm siding with the General, who seems to have a better sense of himself. You've introduced Lucius as something that doesn't seem to be human. You even use the word creature to describe him, which is one of ...
I really enjoyed this story & not only because I'm going to school to become a high school English teacher. There was a flow to it that drew me in, even though it did take a while for me to warm up to the style (I found it strange that a story like this was being told in third person at first.) Anywho, a few prrofreading remarks: At the beginning you say 'would be just ignoring her'. I figured you what you were trying to say would be more along the lines of 'would just be ignoring'. Also towa...

I loved the line 'Control was a memory.' For me it actually had a greater impact than 'Thanks for breakfast.' so you might want to consider changing the title if more people react positive to it. Another thing, I don't know if you did this on purpose or not, but serveral times you referred to Todd as a gentleman, but he acted like a jerk, such as when he was about to kick Daria out of his apartment and when he said "Nothin’ tastes sweeter than desperate pussy." So I had a hard time thinking o...
This was very well written. One thing though, it took me a couple of reads to get away from fishing to realize Chuck had died. Adding how long after the fishing trip Chuck died would help.
The first paragraph is somewhat troubling because it's base is short, simple sentences. Combining a few to make a couple of complex sentences will create a flow so it's not so choppy. Also when you describe the weather in the day time you use the word 'dry' three times within two sentences. For some readers when they see the same word repeated in such a short amount of time they might think "Okay. I get it. It's dry." How dry is it? Ater that the story does pick up, but I do worry about Joann...
