Doppelganger

The editor didn’t like my story about a private detective who discovers a lost city under a Mexican pyramid. Said the plot was too formulaic and the protagonist’s anger issues didn’t create a lot of sympathy with the reader. I crumpled up his letter angrily and tossed it in the bin. I swear I saw the shadow of a man moving along the walls of my apartment that night, his hands jabbing the air with what looked like a knife. I locked my bedroom door and tried everything I could to not be myself.

  1. honestly i don’t understand what you were implying between the words.you kinda made me confused by having two completely different things.the story thing seems like it doesn’t have to do with the plot, and the shadow thing doesn’t not have enough to really imply much.

    Im sorry if im coming across as rude, but im just trying to figure out the story.=) good job writing tho.
