Wait what
I went to hit continue and the area was BLANK. It's over, it's finished, and Theo "WOLF" Lovell is doomed to be a student for the (eventual?) sequel 😔
I gotta say I enjoyed the journey. After the first couple chapters, once we got to know Theo, it was pretty enjoyable. Those first couple chapters nearly turned me off I'll be honest. Didn't have much of a character hook for me after "WOLF" was immediately whisked away to be discussed by his superiors. The prose was clearly scrubbed up nicely and the imagery was intriguing, though. But I'm glad I stuck with it. You've got an eye for character, and I wish there'd been just a liiittle bit more development in there, but with all these word restrictions it's hard to balance that with plot and everything. I should know. I think you did a pretty good job with a pretty decently-sized cast.
Still left with a few questions, like the shaking-hand thing (don't go getting Parkinson's, Theo), Ema's Dad's yakuza connections and her mother, and exactly what happened with the church and everything there. Very, very interested in exactly what went down there. But I have no doubt these questions would've been answered with more time/chapters.
In any case, it was fun! Wish you well on your continued writing journey o7
