Re: 2x10^3 Post - 973 words - CotM and tGM

Hi ctg, congrats on 2000 posts.

Interesting story, although we miss the detail by jumping in at the end.

I found some of the sentences didn't flow smoothly

Also the use of the word metallic twice stood out. Could you use a different word in one of those places?

The explosion felt like it could do with some more description.

The first part of the second story seemed to keep repeating itself - the POV character upset that things weren't done his way.
