Fata Narrat: Short Stories

Draft of Vanishing Hope

In the heart of the forest, under a moonless sky, stood an old cabin. The night was cold, the air thick with the scent of pine and decay. A figure, cloaked in shadows, knocked on the door. Inside, the cabin belonged to the reclusive Mrs. Hawthorne, who rarely ventured out. She opened the door, her eyes narrowing at the intruder's presence.


Draft Review of Vanishing Hope

Great start! The opening sets an eerie tone. However, consider adding more details to build suspense. For example, describe what the figure is doing or why they're there. Also, introduce a bit of internal monologue for Mrs. Hawthorne to give readers insight into her personality and fears.
