RyanKinder | t1_c5imts0 | WritingPrompts | c5iogkr | 1,343,147,723 | t3_x2b58 | A good effort... the first sentence is extremely long with no punctuation to break it up. A few of your sentences suffer from this lacking... it makes it difficult to read. (Try reading the first sentence out loud only pausing when you hit the first punction [the question mark] and you'll see what I mean.)

Okay, maybe not literally. But when you've lived underground your entire life, fed lies about the surface, threatened with execution if you so much as *glimpse* the top world, you tend to start believing what you hear.
But you also hear other people. They talk in hurried whispers, sealing thei... | 2 | null |

It is a sensation rather than a sound—my ears a press floor gumshoe too late with the news, biting off of the AP story—and my body clenches to keep my sanity from leaking. Also, pee.

He listened intently.
The normal sounds his human made were absent. What could this mean? His human had not left. Her smells were there, but they w... | 9 | null |

hello_flamingo | t3_x2b58 | WritingPrompts | c5ivzz6 | 1,343,174,619 | t3_x2b58 | Well, here it goes. I didn't do a lot of editing, I more or less wrote as it came to me, with some changes made for organization. I'm satisfied with it, though. Furthermore, I'm leaving the large space because I'm (new here) and don't know how to make lines.

It is stuck, or maybe it forgot how to move. No one knows for sure. I sit on my front porch, drinking my coffee, trying to ignore the hot ball of gas in the sky.

The realization of what he'd just done petrified Trey Smith. There must be a keystroke that sends emails to my entire contact list, he thought.
