Hi NYC Midnight, 

I just had my feedback and the third judge's {1943} comments are very clearly for a different story. 

Can you help me get the right feedback?

I feel like mine might be wrong too..... the below is from the same judge...
It didn't really make sense to me at all, it sounds totally contradictory or am I missing something?

What i liked....
I appreciated reading about Ahmed and Anna's relationship. I liked that the story was set in present tense. I feel that you have a very grounded approach to your writing, as in, it is very straightforward. That was something that I liked.
What needed work....
Go through the story and fine tune any language that does not serve the piece. Be mindful of sentence structure. What I would do is simplify the piece sentence by sentence. In other words, find the most clear and succinct way to say each line without compromising the meaning of the sentence.
