Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),
Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
The slow breeze of the wind coming through the door ripples my shirt. I’ve mustered up a reason how they did it, when they did it, and who it is. Yeah, i’m a detective, and not one of those 40-year old ones you find in those cheesy romance novels you can get in sets of 5 for 2 dollars at the local Dollar General store chock full of shitty no-name brand headphones, diet orange soda, and overweight people buying out the shelves of food getting ready for some sport tourney they don’t even care about. I’m really just a teenager and… well, it’s complicated. “So, if we match it all up, the only person that could have done it is you, Mr. Dell. Am I correct?” I say this as I turn towards the two police man each standing next to their respective suspects, or would have been suspects. “Damn it!” He kicks the police officer next to him in the balls and runs out the door on the other side of the room towards his motorcycle. I click a button on the side of my pocketwatch and out pops a medium size ball through a small hole in the cover. Just the right size I like for my kicking. WHAM! The ball soars out the door and smacks into his head. He slumps over the seat of his motorcycle unconscious. The unharmed policeman dashes out and slaps handcuffs on his arms with no hassle. “Should have done it in the first place.” I mutter while slumping down in a bench next to my brother drinking some fancy, expensive root beer. “Now why did you go and do that, Cliff? The poor guy didn’t deserve that.” He says looking at something I don’t bother to look at. “He did deserve it, Pike. He kicked that policemans balls all the way to high heaven.” I pause to get a good look at his drink for no apparent reason. “Hey, Where did you get that root beer?” He turns some and points towards a small freezer behind the counter where Mr.Dell works. Or did work, anyway. He’ll be behind bars for a while now. “Oh, man, that’s just what I want right now.” I grab two soda’s and pour them into a glass, then sit back down with my brother. The policeman that was kicked in the ball’s walks in the room. “Hey, good job, man! DO you two want a ride home?” We gladly accept and ride home quietly.
Okay, well that was a bit of a chaotic paragraph to start off on. I'll start with what I noticed right off the bat here and that's the lack of paragraphing. There's a bit too many things happening in here to be stuffed into just a single paragraph and that means this ends up being a tiny bit of a mess of text here. You really do need to separate the things that happen here, from the introduction of the character, to the part about what he does to the then action sequence of sorts where they catch a suspect...to well even more things. This is about five or six paragraphs here condensed into the on.
Anyway, moving past the paragraphing issues and getting right back to the actual contents of this story here, there's certainly a lot of interesting things to dissect up here. It looks like we've got some form of teen detective here. Small note here as well, the part where you talk of most detectives being old goes on for a bit too long there. I feel like it just drags on and on long enough that at some point it loses all its meaning there when it comes to mentioning this one is a teenager. Moving on from there, it appears we've got some pretty cool tech here and there seems to be a strong personality on this protagonist, which is bordering on unlikable for me personally, but that's me...but at any rate, it creates a pretty interesting premise, seems like a story that I would continue reading after seeing this as chapter one.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
