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,
I suppose I should have always known that it would come to this. There was always something about him that suggested I would end up dying for him. Dying alone, bound to a bedpost on a quiet night.
My finger moved slightly on its own accord, curling itself around the trigger of the musket, but I mentally stopped myself. Before I died for him, I would remember; otherwise I might not have the courage to warn him, to warn him with my death.
Hmm well as far as prologues go, this one really is on the smaller end of the spectrum here. You've really tried to minimize how much words you end up using here. And I feel like as a result you haven't quite captured enough here. Prologues can work even being this small, but this one does not seem to be one of those rare times that works.
Besides this feeling a bit incomplete though, you do actually have a pretty intriguing setup here. There's definitely more than enough in this scene already to have you sitting up and taking notice. So...it certainly has all the ingredients you need for this to be a successful prologue, in fact even as it currently stands I'd probably turn those pages and read the rest of the story. You do have a pretty compelling case here. So...I think you've got a solid foundation in place one that's already almost effective as it is. You just need to build on this a little more, add just a tiny bit more detail. Of course you don't anymore context, this is the perfect amount, its just missing a bit of detail here and there.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
