As part of my creative writing course I have been asked to write two short stories, then select one to put to the group for critiquing.

I have my stories but I can never see which one is the strongest so I'm asking for votes.

Could you please read the following two pieces and let me know which one you think is the strongest? Critique also if you have the time.

The Cellar

The Cellar has already been up as part of the Flash group.

Thanks for your help.

Gina.
