You gotta add your exposition, climax, rising action, exposition, falling action, resolution, internal conflict and external conflict. So get to work! LOL!

hey this is marissa,
well first of all that is not how you spell horehey. why would the mother want to send the twin brother away and not the other. i think that angela needs to be more involved. the sentence " the telegraph see's the message and takes immediate action..." doesn't make scence. how does the mother react to the death of her son? go into more depth.

hey, the story was SOOOO much clearer now that I've read your outline. Like I said before: add more detail in the beggining so that readers can understadn things better, but other than that, good job.
