I'm also here as a judge for the Magazine contest!
I love that you have this air of mystery right from the beginning. Who is this person and why is he being sentenced? I love stories that start off with questions and slowly answer them throughout so I'm really looking forward to seeing how you take that forward as you continue. I'm also looking forward to seeing whether a relationship blossoms between the nurse and Will! Winter romances are always adorable so I hope that they will end up getting together!
Honestly, I think the thing that I like about this the most is that it seems to be set way back, or at least that's what I'm getting from the dialogue. It gives me this vivid picture of something almost like the wintry setting of The Muppet's Christmas Carol. I'm a stickler for fiction that is set in historical times, so I really enjoyed that aspect of it!
All in all, definitely not a bad piece. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take it!
Thank you very much! So happy you're enjoying!
