When will people learn that Spellcheck is not the same as proofreading? Not a bad stroker, but there are enough spelling errors to irk the reader. When in doubt a word is correct, use the dictionary! Example: "shone" is the past tense of "shine." As you intended to use it, "glisten" is the synonym. "Shown" is the past tense of "to show," with the synonym being "demonstrated." See what I mean?
Next time, read proof on your story before you submit it and you will get better ratings. A judicious use of adjectives and a tad more detail on your characters would not hurt, either. Keep trying.
