I kinda like this one, but I'd like to know what others think. I know it got a little dry at some parts, but I was multitasking lol.

One thing I will give you is that you're incredibly vivid when it comes to describing Eighteen's feelings, and putting them into effective metaphors and similes. I can completely sympathize and empathize. You really know how to portray your character's mental and physical state. I find myself wondering if you're manifesting sometimes, but that's really none of my business. The scenery and environment you picture is so perfect that I can flawlessly visualize it in my head. You do have slight grammatical and capitalizational errors, the most obvious one being...

?The HQ. Where are you?? She answered and then inquired.
The first word after dialogue, unless it begins a separate sentence, isn't capitalized. That and a lot of your beginning quotations are backwards. I'm not going to lie. That kinda bothers me. But it's not a big deal.
What I most like is that you can completely and seamlessly run the emotional gamut: intimate to humorous, confusion to clarity, etc.
Overall, I really don't see any problems with it. You're a better writer than you give yourself credit for.

Well I don't know how to fix the backward quotes, it's been happening laely on Word.
Dialogue is my weak point, no matter how many times I'm taught it, I never do it right. But thank you.

You have to copy and paste ones that are facing the right way. =/ I've had to do it once or twice as well.

One thing I *always* have issues with and that my writing teacher always points out (I noticed because of Bardock's mention of your quoting) is how I do my lead ins for the quote. Try leading in a quote other than the simplistic "he said/she said/he yelled/she roared."
Again, something I have to deal with myself, but yeah...
