Wowzers, Eisha, this is really catchy. I mean, it’s short but it starts the story off with a lot of curios-making. And that’s got me asking questions and wondering, “Hmm, what’s going to happen next?”

But I think you need to add a little detail to what happened before with this. And where exactly this is taking place. It needs some type of setting. And why is your POV character with this other girl. Not to mention, if someone were coming to help, and there was a dead person sitting there, why would they stop for…burgers? *is hungry*

When you step away from the story and look at it with only the information your reader has, does it make sense.

Hope I could help!

Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

Hiya!
Really good start! I so want to know what happens next :)

1) You could put something about what led her there. Why is she in the forest? Is she meant to guard the body? Bury it? You could have a little snippet of the last conversation she had with Nick.

2) I'd recommend describing things more. What does the ground feel like? Is it cold there? What can she smell? Pull the reader into the environment. :D

Otherwise, great :D Good luck with the book!

Yes, I love him. Yes, I can never have him. Yes, I don't care.
Love can't be controlled.
