I wonder if there might be a better way of writing that sentence to make it more clear? episode of name that pop...

Grammar and Spelling I can help with. IN the first paragraph, you have a date followed by a time. You should still put a comma between the day and year even though you need to put one in right after that to separate the time from the date. "observing of the eerily silent street," sounds better if you say "observing the eerily silent street." "A few minuets passed as Roxy shivered .." minutes (typo) "But its better then..." better than "she sniffed, whipping her face..." wiping her face This i...
