What we’ll do here is post ONLY the GENRE and the FIRST SENTENCE of the story.
Follow my example:
Open a New Discussion with your name as the title, nothing else.
Enter your genre and first sentence only, nothing else.
What we’ll discuss is whether your first sentence cements your story into the genre in which you’ve chosen to write.

Genre: Crime.
Mark opened his front door to see a dark shadow, as he saw a flash and fell to the floor, his child stood there screaming daddy.

I was curled up in a closet terrified, but it wasn't the storm that scared me. It was him and how did he find me.
