Hi 13, again! So, from your P.M. I guessed that you had updated this again just as many times as you have sent me updates? I'm just going to review it here because it is easier to write a review in the forums.

Okay my biggest complaint about this is the sentence variety! I just reviewed your first paragraph and I mentioned this, but in this prologue the problem is much more obvious. Reread this and mix those sentences up. Because all the sentences sound the same the paragraph starts to get boring and I start to not care about your characters.

The other thing is that when you are telling us about how the parents found the body you sound so matter of fact. I still don't feel any emotion for some reason. For example:

Cynthia’s father turned the body over in disbelief. His baby girl was the center of his world, so he panicked and attempted to resuscitate her. Cynthia’s mother gently put a hand on his shoulder as if telling him that Cynthia was dead and there was nothing they could do.

Cynthia's father turned the body over in disbelief - hands trembling. The center of his world, his baby girl, dead? She couldn't be. He frantically tried to resuscitate her unable to accept how cold and stiff her body was. Tears streaming down her face Cynthia's mother gently put a hand on his shoulder; it was the only way she could tell him that there was no hope because of the lump in her throat.

Skwmusic : this is just backround about the locket and Cynthia, because they are very important to the rest of the story.

Thanks. When I added details to this before, I forgot to add the sentence about it being missing. Again, thanks for the help.

The premise to this story is very dry. So a girl randomly drowns (no explanation is given. why didn't the girl cry for help?) and lost with her life is a golden locket. You fail to establish why this locket is important and why we should care. You do say

wore every day until she died, which sadly was not long after she obtained it.

When the parents arrived, they saw their daughter floating in the water. Panicing, the father attempts to resuscicate the dead body, but without avail. After semi-controlling their morbid tears, they notice the locket is missing. They search the area, but nothing. The locket that their daughter had adored so much was gone, until now.

Hi!!
First of all, let me say I loved your nickname!! I'm just crazy for volleyball!

She loved it and wore every day until she died, which sadly was not long after she obtained it. This little girls name was Cynthia. She was the little girl that loved everyone and everything, including life
