Short Story / Finding Peace
Version 1

The old man got up one morning and knew his time was near. He packed a few clothes in a small bag and made one last tour of his house. It was a small house with very little for furnishings. His only real prized possessions were his books. He ran his fingers across the spines of the books, zig-zagging from one shelf to the next. He hadn’t read any of them in a while. His hands shook too much and he couldn’t see the text very well. He stood in front of the book cases and breathed in...

Short Story / A Candle in the Dark
I was confused about whether the man that checked up on them is the same man that captured them. I don't think you mean them to be the same, but it was difficult to tell for sure. If they are supposed to be the same then there is a contradiction since at the beginning you don't know his background and later you say the man had written an article about him.

This story needs editing for grammatical errors and typos, but they don't distract too much from the read.

Sci Fi & Fantasy / Plastic Craft-Chapter 1
This work needs a lot of editing but it is still readable. The first few sentences are a little long-winded but the style seems to settle down after that.
