In a Broken Dream

I thought this story was enjoyable. It flowed nicely and it could keep a readers attention. It had some nice descriptive details like instead of just saying Uncle Auggie and the young man met at a reception hall, they met at the reception hall of Martin’s East. Small details like that give the reader a clearer picture. I loved the second to last line of the story “I learned that there is no such thing as good and evil, black and white, we’re all just shades of grey.” I love that line because I believe that to be very true in life. This story was good but there are a few things that could be changed or done differently. I like the idea of the addiction but it just seemed to come out of no where to me, maybe build that up a little more. I also would like to know more about the fifteen year old. Just things like his name and details like that to make him more relatable.
