This was a Short Story I was writing recently, and had hoped to send it for publication. It is an alternate 'take' on the myths surrounding Arthur, Merlin and Excalibur; a bit more 'Game of Thrones' if you will...
In the end, I missed the deadline, and went horribly over budget with the wordcount.
I slashed it down, and tried to tighten things up as it was overcomplicated and sickeningly adorned with flowery-prose.
I really would just like some thoughts and advice, please... I'm aware, especially as a few weeks have elapsed since I wrote it, of it's short-comings.

I am insufficient. Well, that's not my name obviously, but that's what my family has decided I am. I'm Julie. I'm 14, about to be 15 years old. I have a twin sister, Jamie. Jamie is an angel. Perfect at everything, and can do no wrong. At least in my family's eyes. And I? I am not perfect. I am a disappointment. Though they've never said that to me outright, I know that's what they truly think. The apparent "last straw" was when Jamie fucked up and I took the fall for it. Now, I'm on my way to live with some of my more distant relatives back in Italy. They're supposed to "put me back in my place." So now I get to go live with 3 Italian Capo's. Sounds like fun right? ------ What happens when Julie gets sent away? And what happens when her relatives receives a girl they had been brought to believe was a troublesome, borderline delinquent teenager, but is actually just a confused, dissociative little girl with a messed up idea of what family really means. And what happens when Julie comes to realise that the people she was living with, weren't all who they said they were?
