Any advise would be much appreciated. Please mail me if you are happy to help thanks.
At just over 3,000 characters, it JUST would be submittable - I think that you need to expand the story a little, make it more interesting... You also need to punctuate it properly, especially around your dialogue, but throughout the whole piece. A lot of the sentences seem incomplete - you might want to try reading the story aloud to yourself - that way, you're more likely to spot errors and also see where you need to punctuate...
Good luck with it.
