@Umby, ha ha! I'm on the second paragraph of your story and you misused a semicolon!

A petite thing she was; must have been less than five feet tall

Is "must have been less than five feet tall" a complete sentence?

No, because it doesn't have a subject, which would be "she."

Also, while we're here, "five feet" is a compound adjective modifying the word "tall," which means you want to hyphenate it. Make it, "five-feet."

Watch out, grammar Nazis are on the march! Uber alles punctuation!
