Also docking a star for the constant and obnoxious song references. Note to authors: no one is impressed with your (in this case, terrible) taste in music. Moreover, name-dropping songs totally takes readers out of the moment. If they don’t know the song it adds nothing to the scene, and worse, if they do know the song and dislike it then that can ruin the scene. Show us the type of music with your description rather than telling us the exact name of the song. Unless it’s a universally known artist, but still leave the song up to the reader’s imagination, ie. “A Bob Dylan song came on over the radio.” Name-dropping song titles just makes your writing sound super amateur.

And it was October 30, the night before Halloween. Devil’s Night.
Damon Torrance, Kai Mori, Will Grayson III, and—I locked my gaze on the blood red mask covering the face of the one always in the lead a little more than the others—Michael Crist, Trevor’s older brother.
“It’s just you, Little Monster. Own it or it will own you.”
“Run all you want, Little Monster,” he said, sounding like a threat. “We’re faster.”
They were here. The Four Horsemen. They were Thunder Bay’s favorite sons, and they’d gone to high school here, graduating when I was a freshman.
As individuals we had weaknesses, but as the Horsemen we were invincible. We each brought something different to the table, and where one lacked, the others stepped in.
Three years ago, curious little Erika Fane wanted to play with the boys, so we indulged her, and she betrayed us.
“Trevor’s not my boyfriend.”
“Too bad. I like playing with shit that’s not mine.”
That’s what I admired about the Four Horsemen. They were always in control and always visible.
“You robbed your own fucking store, Rika!” Will laughed and grabbed fistfuls of my sweatshirt, shouting into my face. “You’re the fucking king, baby!”
Will started singing, then slid out of his seat, and I shook with laughter as he straddled me, giving me a lap dance to the music.
“When we used to wear the masks,” Michael said, dropping his voice to a near whisper, “you liked it, didn’t you?
“So you like the mask. You’re pretty fucking sick, aren’t you?” he teased.
“Such a beautiful little monster,” he whispered
“Because you’ve corrupted her nice and good. She’s a force now, and it won’t be long before she’s brave enough to demand what she wants. If you don’t give it to her, she’ll find someone else who will.”
THE KAI AND MICHAEL SANDWICH CHANGED LIVES!
