She`s A Lady

by beastly361


I saw the bruises on her face, her arms, and her body. She tries her hardest to keep their secret, hence the word: their. It was stupid watching them acting all "in love" in front of my face. I knew what happened when my back was turned. The screaming, the fighting, the blows to my sister. I swore to myself, I ever got that wastrel alone... I would kill him. But two things held me back from my plan. The first thing is my sister swearing that she loved him and my gut, telling me something bad would happen. I got him alone. Finally. It was after school. I watched his lacrosse practice from the second floor of the main building I watched him run into the locker room. That`s where I waited for him, right outside the door. He was the last one out, perfect. He glared at me before I grabbed his shoulders and slammed him into a nearby trophy case.The force of my blow scattered the glass under his sweating back. He fell into a wooden shelf that was nailed in the case. Tropies had gone crashing into the ground. None of that mattered. The prey was injured in front of me. Quickly, I surveyed the scene that layed in front of me. A wave of worry washed over me. But it quickly disappeared as I thought about all the pain that my sister had to go through with this jerk. I brought my face close to his. I whispered, "Did you scream enough to make her cry?" Then I yelled, "SHE`S A LADY AND LADIES SHOULDN`T BE MESSED WITH!"`

Hi there!

My first impression: Violent.

The overarching story highlights the troubles between your sister (not sure whether this is based on a true story or not so I'm just going to go on the fact that it is for reviewing sake) and your concern for her and looking at the brute of a boyfriend she has.

I don't quite get the phrase "hence the word: their" and also "their" wants to be capitalized as it is after a colon.

The flow of this wasn't quite there, there was a LOT of full stops, and punctuation there, that could have been changed around and made different to make it flow better. Looking at grammar and punctuation; you need to remember spaces after full stops.

There are also a few spelling mistakes in here, with words that I'm sure you know how to spell properly. I think you need to read back through this properly and see what you've written, because there are a few mistakes, but small ones that are really simple that everyone makes! it just needs to be proofed :)

Next I would look at making the story flow and using more descriptive and colorful language.

But I like it! despite the fact that I disagree with the pretenses behind it.

I really like this piece, beastly.


The sentence here is fragmentary. You can incorporate them into one sentence.
I really loved these sentences:

He glared at me before I grabbed his shoulders and slammed him into a nearby trophy case.The force of my blow scattered the glass under his sweating back. He fell into a wooden shelf that was nailed in the case. Tropies had gone crashing into the ground. None of that mattered. The prey was injured in front of me.

I really like this piece, beastly.

The story about a brother standing up for his sister is age old yet you gave it new light. It's a bit short and there aren't much descriptions. Also, the story progresses a bit too fast.

I got him alone. Finally.

I felt they were precise and well structured.
Perhaps you should not capitalize the last sentence. the exclamation marks acts well without it.

that's about it. Hope to read more from you.

Good Job on this piece.

I just don't understand what you were trying to say in the second sentence:
"She tries her hardest to keep their secret, hence the word: their."

And in this part:
"I swore to myself, I ever got that wastrel alone... I would kill him."
I think it there should be an if before the second "I".

...And that's it.
