Title/Cover: 10/10
The cover is startling with the dismembered hand on the checkered floor of the diner with the dark colored thread coming from it. The title and cover match the story perfectly. I absolutely understand why you turned down the offer for a new cover.
Blurb: 10/10
The blurb was just the right length and had several substantial hooks within it, practically demanding the story be read.
Character Development: 10/10
In the first few chapters, the main characters (Travis, Kendra, Tiffany) are described in detail, as well as their personalities.These insights affected how they reacted upon meeting/greeting Miss Della, our matriarch who demands manners and civil words.
World Building: 10/10
This little town in Pennsylvania is in for the shock of its life as their world comes to an end. We can see every aspect of the diner and how it holds the town together within its alternate reality. At least, I hope it's an alternate reality...
Grammar & Punctuation: 8/10
Both judges picked up on a few errors, however, they seemed to be edits you made but somehow ended up back within the story, creating duplicate (but reworded) paragraphs.
Plot:10/10
This is where you shined. Using needles that are almost sentient but bent on destruction is something not seen before. If you add in the jilted lover, the woman who feels trapped in the small town and the disc jockey carrying a horrifying secret–it's a gold mine.
Prompt Usage: 20/20
Using the car radio and music blasting through speakers at the diner was a stroke of genius. I did notice you put the meaning of the prompts where you could include them, but this technique made the usage of each one easily done without disrupting your storyline.
Flow: 18/20
The flow from chapter to chapter was perfect and I would not change a thing. The two points were lost because there were two times (Travis' car accident, Kendra's final walk through the diner) where in trying to describe the scene, you went into too much detail and ended up confusing your reader as to what the image was you were trying to .
