Pretty good, 7/10. Some grammatical errors, some parts that just sound weird. You're a bit repetitive in the first heest, and you telling about it like it already happened and then your in the car driving but then when you get there its in the past again. Correct me if I'm wrong. The end, I know you were trying to make it sound foreboding because it was "The Job" but it doesn't come off like that the way you did it. Like if you look at My prologue of Remembrance, I say
"It was at this spire the Lites had been killed.
Slaughtered. Burned. Shook.

Broke...

This was the thing that defied the world, sat on a throne of death and peace and laughed at it, challenging it to face the power of man, power they had long held, long forgotten.

Power they would soon need to remember."

Spaces and Shorter sentences usually do better in those situations, and some kind of build up. Idk, just a suggestion.

Despite those minor things, I liked it.

Better then the first chapter, everything is still kind of choppy, doesn't flow together too well. though you do do a good job building up suspense for the heest.
lol.... with the first chapter. The end, still doesn't sound right with the commas. Although a few more people need to read this so you can get there opinion on it too. Here's how I might write it.

"Today was different though. We did not visit them today. I had to make come up with a plan, the biggest plan of my life.
A plan needing the brilliance of a commander, the cunning of an assassin.

tomorrow I'll tell Jimmy and Harry.

Let them sleep."

I didn't like using "The Job" as the closer, I couldn't find a way to make it work. If you like it you can use it.

Overall,
Pretty Good.

yea yea speilburg, thats sounds a little better, but two things 1: the cunning of an assasin? that really doesn't sound right for a heest.. 2: let them sleep.. i'm writing the story in past tense, that sounds present.

anyway thanks

That is past tense. Its just taking out the 'I' as in "I let them sleep" Let
If you don't like the assassin thing thats fine, I just came up with it off the top of my head.

Good Story
I love Tragedies at the end of a story
You can always write a second story

I would give rep but I don't like rep beggers but What the Hell


I may open a Writers Database so you don't have to waste attachment room for your story just post the link

Not saying he shouldn't get rep, but a lot of people have posted stories here... Paradise, Corruption, Arcane Corruption, Remembrance (the best by far lol)... the list goes on and on...

I'll read soon.

Miz, how do you plan to do the database?

i think mine is the longest of them yet(except for Corruption of course). But you havent finished Remembrance... so thats a factor. Anyway thnx for the rep if u gave it to me.

I do think you should make the database Mizo, maybe thatll inspire Halahan to FINISH remberance:p

I've had to figure out the Plot. I didn't have it clear enough.
No, Arcane corruption, and Paradise is also longer then yours. in fact, mine is still longer then yours I think.

oh, ya yours is longer then mine.
But no, yours is 8 pages and Arcane corruption has at least 16 chapters, each as long as yours.
Also, the Sage of Immortals and a good many forgotten ones.

ok why are you guys arguing again?
I say you to stop it because does it really matter how long the story is
no...
It matters how good it is

You could write the longest book in the world
But it doesn't means its good

Okay. Let's set a little rule.

If your story isn't over 50 pages long, no one cares whose is longer.

Word? :) Word.
