Start your year by beta reading a short story!

Hello there, fellow Absolute Writer!

Starting out your year? Feeling confused in the rush of going back to work, back to school?

Well, what better way to normalize life than beta-reading a short, short story!

Hypothermia in Summer, written by me, is a slightly magical realistic story only 1,300 words long. Yes, it's that short. It tells the story of a boy who watches his aunt die - and that's about it.

I'm looking for a beta who can help me with two things. The first should be simple enough: grammar and syntax, because everybody can use an extra pair of eyes there. The second is a little more complicated: sentence rhythm, because I'm told it's important but I don't know if I'm any good at it.

So take a chance! Be the beta reader you always wanted to be!
Drop me a PM or e-mail me at kamigawa (at) hotmail.com. Your help will be much appreciated!
