Question: Can someone comment on my story!.!?
I haven't thought of a name and fixed most of the grammar errors and I tried to be descriptive as possible!. just give any comments if you think it was confusing etc!. Thanks!.

The rain was loud and the place was hard to see!. Anthox decided to stay inside a hollow tree until the rain stopped!. Suddenly he heard some noises through the bushes!. He started to worry but tried to stay calm!.
There are many creatures that lived in the sacred forest but he knew none of them would attack unless they have a good reason!. The sounds from the bush started to get louder and louder!. He could feel the essence of death near him!. He knew it wasn’t safe to stay!.

Anthox got out of the hollow tree and started to run!. Right when he got up to run, the creature jumped out of the bushes and began chasing him!. It was hard to maneuver because of the many tree stumps!. He looked back and noticed it wasn’t a creature from the forest!. No, this creature, this thing was a hideous monster!.

Without noticing he hit a rock wall!. “Damn it” He yelled!. He tried a different way to run but more of those monsters were around him!. Surrounded by 3 monsters he had no idea what to do!.

The creature that was first chasing him came up to him and pinned him on the wall with it’s razor sharp claws!. He tried to squirm for freedom but it was no use!. “Is this it!? Is this where I’m going to die!?” he thought to himself!. The creature gave out a loud horrifying screech and scratched him on his chest with his third claw!.

The 2 other monsters was about to lunged their heads into Anthox’s heart but then a bright light started to appear!. The light was so bright it blinded him!. All he saw was a figure coming from out of the light!. Anthox’s vision started to get more blurry and soon he blacked out!.

Chapter 1
Anthox woke and surprised to see that he was on his bed!. “Was this a dream!?” He thought!. “No, it was too real to be a dream!.” He then lifted his shirt and looked for any scars from the scratch the monster gave to him!. Relieved he found no scratch what so ever!.

He got dressed and went downstairs!. “Good morning mother!.”
“Good morning Anthox!.” His mother replied!. She had worn a bright pink dress and her favorite apron today!. I wondered if it was a special occasion!.
“I’ve been having a lot of these strange dreams lately!.” Anthox told his mother!.
“Having these weird dreams again dear!? You really have to stop listening to your father and those weird stories he tells you on his journies!.” His father was an adventurer who traveled all around the world searching for artifacts that can unlock true secrets of the world!.
“Father’s stories true! You think those are lies!?”
“Don’t raise your voice to me!. Show some respect or you’ll be going cooking your own food tonight!.”
“I’m sorry mother!. It’s just” Anthox’s sentence suddenly came to a stop!. “Forget it!. Hey Aaron and I are going to the temple!. We need to deliver this package father sent us to the holy templars!.”
“Ok but you be careful now!.”
“I’ll be fine mother!.”

Anthox left the house and met up with Aaron at the fountain at the center of the town!. Their town was pretty big considering most towns in the Kingdom!. It was still pretty early and most of the town shops and bakeries were just opening up!.

“Hey, where have you been Anthox!?” Aaron said to me with a loud tone!. “I’ve beem waiting out here for like 10 minutes!. “I just woke up not too long ago!. I had a nightmare!.”
“Aw little baby Anthox had a bad dream!? You need mommy to kiss you all better!?” Aaron said with a rude gesture!.
“Shut up Aaron!. This dream was really weird!. I was-“Anthox’s sentence cut off by Aaron!.
“Yeah yeah tell me later!. Lets hurry and get this delivery done with!. I planned to go fishing today!.”

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You have some intriguing action, very descriptive!. The best overall comment I can make is that you have described everything in very passive terms!. The verbs "was", "felt", and "had" keep the reader out of the story!. You need to suck them in with you!.

For example, "The rain was loud and the place was hard to see!. Anthox decided to stay inside a hollow tree until the rain stopped!." This doesn't engage me!. Try something like, "Anthox peered through the steady blanket of rain!. He held his ears, deafened by the drops ricocheting off the tree where he hid, curled in its hollow center!."

Hope this helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

itrs was good i would continue with it if i were you i hope you try to get this published but dont drone on in the story fast draw it out slowly like a thorn you dont want to take out too fats or youll hurt yourself, you dont want to ruin the story!.!.!. okay!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Is this going to be a short story!? Or a fictional book!? If its going to be a fictional book, you'll need more bulk to it than what you already have!. Honestly, it doesn't really grab me to want to continue to read it!. My suggestion, is re-write it again!. Your basic story line is good, but it just feels as though its lacking!. I suggest be more descriptive!. Use more adjectives!. You want your reader to start picturing the scene in thier head!. For instance, instead of "The rain was loud!.!.!.!." try "The rain was a deafening loud as it drummed against the ground!.!.!." You don't have to use those words, but to give you an idea of what I'm talking about!.

Correcting grammer and spelling is always good!.
