Review: A little preachy

I was asked by the author to read and review this short story.The premise if the story was intriguing. I like the idea of immortals playing with the lives of mortals. But I felt like there was not enough exposition. I would have liked to have seen more happen with Archie raising the dead. I also felt like I was being preached to about the evils of the modern world and war and death.I am a big fan of short stories. I am definitely someone who enjoys a well thought out plot and complete story in 10,000 words or less. I did not feel like this story accomplished this objective, however. I did not feel anything for any of the characters. And I did not finish the story satisfied with a complete story. I would love to see more, though. Maybe a collection of stories about Hym and Hur would make it seem more complete.
