I dress in fatigues, hair under the hat he gives me, lace up the boots stuffed with extra pairs of socks, train tickets in my pocket, satchel filled with poison of every kind for sale on military bases.

Short Story / So We Write...
I have recently been told that your style (much like mine) is Passive Voice which is apparently a big fat no-no. That being said, I must admit since our writing is similar (in my writing you will see alot of I's instead of We's)try rewriting the piece without using any of the we's in the beginning of the sentences....good luck.
First of all, I thought of the movie "Oh God" and the book "Conversations with God".....but I did like the overal premise, it's just a tough sell to me because I've seen or read things that are similar and I kept (didn't mean to) comparing the story. I found the lengthy dialouge needing some breaks of something else happening, it was just too much conversation, I felt I wanted to get back into the room so to speak. Overall, I like the piece very much.
Action Adventure / Native Son Ch.2
The beginning was tight and concise; the daydream of younger days in a time past was a snapshot, it was hard to tell if it was a good thing for his family or not. I did not get a sense of the emptiness of the platform or the noise when it filled up (could not "see" it in my mind's eye), the smells and echos that one might encounter. The rest of the scene felt like an informercial, the candence and sequencing very predictable, filling space; the stories you elude to that Paul and Hank share on...
