ISO Editor for Fall Antho story - one time

[Valkyrie]

I've completed a second story for the fall antho and would like an editor for light editing - typos, missed words, etc.  It's already been read by a beta.  It's fairly short - around 1600 words.  I use MS Word.  Here is a snippet:

 

The man crouched low to the damp earth and touched the small indentation.  The track was fresh, only minutes old.  He rose and continued down the path that was invisible to those less observant.  His bare feet made no noise as he stealthily walked forward, trailing his hands along the occasional broken piece of vegetation marking his quarry’s path.  He heard a twig snap  and stopped, standing motionless, listening intently.  After a minute of silence he slowly crept forward to a small stand of shrubs and peered through them.  He held his spear close, ready to let it loose at a moment’s notice.  He held his breath as he spied the small deer he had been tracking for hours.  The little animal was at a bad angle; if he threw his spear now, he would surely miss.  He waited with the patience of a skilled hunter as the creature grazed in the small clearing.  The animal turned toward him, providing the perfect opportunity for the hunter to strike.  The spear sailed noiselessly through the air and found its mark unerringly.  The little deer let out a short cry before falling lifeless to the ground.

I was going to volunteer but Cia beat me to it.

 

Maybe just as well, b/c your little snippet had me close to tears. I'd like to spear that hunter dead and see how he likes it!!!!

 

Poor Bambi.

Thanks anyway, Lisa.  Even hunters have to eat...

[Lisa]

No....not Bambi!!!!!!

 

They can eat each other!

Well, I figured it'd be a good fit for me. Not only have I read a lot of primitive fiction over the years, but I'm an archery hunter and have butchered wild and farm animals. It's a really good short story--I think it'll do very well in the anthology.
