You build tension well and your piece is nicely paced. This was a very good freewrite, but in the context of a short story, it remains incomplete. I would encourage you to develop this piece further; flesh it out and share the story behind the unknown man on the street.
The Ink Well is a community for complete short stories. I would love to read the full story version of this piece. We recommend that submissions to The Ink Well be a minimum of 750 words to avoid the risk of underdeveloped stories. We also ask that our writers support at least two other stories in the community each time that they submit on of their own, if they wish to immerse themselves in the community and be read and supported by others, including The Ink Well Admins. We look forward to your next submission. Your writing is a joy to read!
Thank you very much for your understanding. I will make every effort to avoid these mistakes in the future. Often, I write without knowing where I will post it, and I confuse the rules of different communities. However, it will be my pleasure to follow your guidelines precisely in my next publication. I apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate you taking the time to explain things to me.
You are very welcome :-) We look forward to seeing more of your writing here in the Ink Well community.
