Thanks. Although I think this story is the weakest link among all the entries.
Since when are sunflower seeds not birdseed? O.o
It might help if you read the dialogue aloud to yourself to see how it sounds. Most of it just didn't sound the way people talk, not to me.

My writing is very rusty. More rust than Mars.
I've reviewed this story (and the other contest entrants, minus mine) here. Good luck tomorrow!
6267591 gee thanks for reminding me how rusty my writing is. Again
Though I appreciate your real feedback. It's been a couple years since I did a serious attempt for a full story and I needed to know what the damage is from that

Hopefully the advice is useful in shaking that rust off!
I meant it, though, this has some bright spots for being your first story in so long. I think as you get back into it you'll see quick improvement, and even this story could be significantly better with an editing pass. I look forward to future tales.

Well my editor is coming back on Sunday. I could probably have him take a look at it.
You can has review!
