A teeny sample of what an edited paragraph might look like. You have no idea how to use semicolons and should stop using them. At all. Zero. You use way too many commas and it comes across as weird, as though you are making up your own punctuation rules or have some tic that makes you put in commas for no reason. Story good. Editing horrible. Readability poor.
I've enjoyed reading the story this point but have to tell you it's getting a little dry. It needs more emotion and more detail. Also, the writing isn't developing much flow. Just work it through a few times before finalizing. It shouldn't read so much like you're checking off items on a list.
