Your English is much above average for a draft! I really, really appreciate that. You will get much better feedback than most people on the Workshop since we actually can read and understand your Pasta.

You do have a typo in the title "Plaice" instead of "Place" but you can fix that in moments.

You have a UK spelling of "leant" instead of the USA "leaned" in the second paragraph. UK English is entirely acceptable, along with AU, NZ, ZA and CA English. I just wanted to make sure you intended it as sometimes a word processor spell check is set to UK by accident.

Since I can read your story, I can now talk to you about it. The guy keeps finding a body. Is it his body? Is it someone he murdered? Is it some other fisherman? I haven't made up my mind, but my guess since he doesn't seem that freaked or pissed is that it is his body. A "plaice" is a type of fish, which is where the joke lies (also, the guy is a fisherman named "Gill"). Also yes, the story does imply that Gill murdered the man in the fishing net, but past that, it's up to your imagination. Thanks for the feedback.
