Default Re: Please respond: a short fiction piece

Look at this sentence:

[ QUOTE ]
Jackson’s eyebrows raised and his eyes got a soft glow in them.

[/ QUOTE ]


How about: "his eyes glowed." Avoid "got" by all means. You can add the "softly" if you feel you need it.

One final note: Plastic wrappers on fortune cookies don't "conceal" them, at least not the ones I've seen.
