Thank you for your feedback. This is my first time doing a writing jam or doing creative writing in general. In retrospect, there are definitely some things I could have done differently to improve the story's structure, but I really love battlefield scenes. Truth be told, the initial conflict was much longer. In my original draft, it comprised half of the first page. The version of the story everyone has read is the trimmed-down version I made to be exactly 1000 words.
Thank you for your feedback. Though I am a bit confused, I thought we were limited to "one page" as in both sides of one paper. Just like how the rules for OPR games are "One page", both back and front. Especially since the word count rules were 500 minimum (1 page) and 1000 maximum (2 pages). Did I miss something?
