The Body

Good start, but it feels unfinished. There are too many questions left unanswered and no real climax/resolution. Who is Mr. Gomes? Why was he killed? How old is the kid? Is it actually a toy and the kid just has an overactive imagination? Like I said before, great start because the buildup fills me with tension and makes me want to know.

Thank you. I will take this into consideration. Last time someone remarked my ending felt incomplete they ended up being right and the story was purchased for publication, so I will for sure have to revisit this piece once I have an idea of how to answer those questions while maintaining the surrealist aspect.
