They would strut down the street reeking of confidence. With their gang signs' loud and clear, these 6 men would never go un-noticed. "We've seen it all," they would say, "Been through it all, done it all, made it all." Yea, they were going somewhere alright. The swag and confidence they had suddenly been lost, as they opened the door to their hideout zone. The six men had just been trashed, and they were not happy about it. Its only begun. Shit.

Hi,

I'm Hollow and I shall be your reviewer today! (:

This piece certainly could be edited. Some examples:

It starts with:

Epilogue


And epilogues belong at the end, not the beginning. So, it should begin with

Prologue


Plus...

With their gang signs' loud and clear, these 6 men would never go un-noticed


"Signs'" should not be possessive. "Loud and clear" cannot be owned.

"6" should be written out. Trust me, my LA teachers have all agreed.

"Un-noticed" should be one word- unnoticed.

"We've seen it all," they would say, "Been through it all, done it all, made it all."


This should start a new paragraph, as should

Yea, they were going somewhere alright.


Also, add an "h" to the end of "Yea".

The swag and confidence they had suddenly been lost, as they opened the door to their hideout zone.


This sentence is a bit confusing.

... confidence they had suddenly been lost, as...


They had the confidence, so it should be, "confidence they had had suddenly been lost..."

"As they opened the door to their hideout zone" is pretty good, but you should get rid of the comma before it.

Its only begun.


"Its" is the possessive form. "It's" is a contraction of it has/it is, so it should be:

It's only begun.


All in all, pretty good. Keep it up! (:

Spiderman Here. That was terribly short for a prologue. At least make the prologue. 400 words. You could make it longer by describing each man, giving there names, describing the outside and inside of their trashed hideouts. What about their strut reeked of confidence? What are their gangs signs? We knoew they weren't happy about their hideout being trashed, but show how they react to it>
