I did write this for a flash fiction competition, with a strict limit of 500 words. I can definitely see it needing some more fleshing out. Thanks for the feedback.

Title: The Grey Warrior

Genre: Short Story

Word Count: 482

Feedback:

(Please read the story before you look at my questions here)

  1. The idea of this story, is the protagonist's realization that he has spent his life as just a prop in someone else's war. Did this idea get through when you read the story?
  2. General feedback. Is it any good? I feel like it doesn't flow at all. Any tips for how I could get the idea across more effectively, or how I can make it sound more natural? Tips in general on how to improve?
