Feedback

What went well

You wrote a clear beginning, middle, and end, which helped your story make sense. Your sentence "The wind howled like a wolf" was a great way to paint a picture in the reader's mind.

Even better if

Describe the portal world in more detail. What did it smell like? What sounds could the character hear? Adding these will help the reader feel like they are really there.

Sim is currently above the national average.
