Welcome to The Ink Well!
Your story is edgy and dark. It has an interesting quality to it but needs some editing to correct grammar and punctuation, including the use of quotation marks to enclose dialogue. This will improve the flow of your writing. You will find a lot of useful advice and guidance in The Ink Well articles and within the community as a whole.
Please could you correct the image sourcing on your images obtained from Canva. If you found them in the Canva library you can get a link for them by clicking on the three dots in the right-hand side of the image. If you created them in Canva using other images, you need to provide links to the images that you used in your composite. In both situations you need to give credit to the photographer by sharing the URL to the page on which the photo and photographer's name appears to ensure accreditation is correctly provided.
