Talk:The Girl in the Photograph/@comment-31077845-20170218040142

I'm going to be bold and say this absolutely does not belong in the suggested reading category. None of the others (other than "the couch" which was there for reasons another commenter explained) I had significant criticisms of. This one is just...dumb. It's tough to walk across a road and "suddenly" get hit by a car. Was the car speeding and had no headlights? Why was this picture sitting in the middle of a field originally? How did the picture or whatever know this guy had the hawk eyes to recognize that it was a picture, but was enough of an idiot that he thought he had to run as fast as he could so nobody else could grab the picture? It's cool bud, nobody else wants your random picture. After all, the internet exists; not only are there lots of pictures of pretty girls, many of them are naked. It's pretty magnificent.

And I just noticed something that was even worse; so the giggling and tapping was at the window, and that's where he followed it...except the story specifically says he climbed the stairs to his bedroom, meaning his window was on the second floor. So what, he casually jumped out his second story window to follow the giggling to the road and get run over?

Then we have the terrible grammar. "It was six minutes until after school"? He "Looked to the grass outside. It looked like a picture"? He asked everyone if they knew her or have seen her before?

Any other quality story wouldn't have that many inconsistencies, nonsensical grammatical errors and general poor quality sections in an entire, few thousand word story and this one couldn't even make it through a handful of paragraphs. I'm sincerely hoping the author doesn't speak english as a first language with how poorly written this is. So once again, does anyone want to explain why this is under the suggested reading heading with stories that are worlds, no, galaxies better than this fairly unremarkable story?
