Just a few parts confused me. At first, the character seems weak or too scared to kill her husband and then towards the end she changes into a stronger person and ends up killing him. I'm guessing she just finally got the courage that night.
I found a couple awkward sentences: “Honey,” I said, lingering towards him. -- Lingering in most cases would mean that she was nearby him in the first place. You might want to replace the word with: ...I said, approaching him... or walking towards him.
Another sentence was: Man, was my thighs trying to bleed from the pain they endured that night. This sounds awkward too... "trying to bleed" sounds weird. Might be better off saying she was bleeding or, the scratches or the damage was so brutal that the wounds looked like the blood would erupt from the skin at any moment... or something like that. Anyway, it's only suggestions. It's your work so ultimately it's up to you. Overall, I thought it was a good look into a victim's mind even though it's very dark, it was well-written. |
