Judge opening
The lighthouse keeper hung upside-down from the gallery railing, still warm, still bleeding onto the rocks below—and the only footprints in the fresh concrete were mine.

mientras sentia algo terrible venir en la orilla, un sonido perturbador. uno que no me podia sacar de la cabeza.
Average Score: 6.0
Mood lands, but missing accent marks and punctuation breaks the flow. "Uno que no me podĂa sacar" is strong phrasing though.
Ominous atmosphere lands, but needs ACTION. What's the sound? Make us HEAR it.

Average Score: 5.5
"Like a throat clearing itself inside out" is precise and unsettling—then it stops before committing to the image.
You've got a creepy moment—good—but no forward momentum. What happens NEXT is what matters.

una grieta se abria entre mi y un desconocido, en medio de la nada
Average Score: 7.0
"Una grieta se abrĂa" is precise and vivid. Minor: *entre mĂ y* needs accent on the pronoun; watch that.
A crack opening between you and a stranger? Perfect narrative pivot. Stakes just multiplied beautifully.

Average Score: 4.0
Competent follow-up, but the sudden code-switching from Spanish makes this technically incoherent. Pick a language.
Shadow-as-ink is pretty. Where's the REVERSAL? What does this stranger WANT from you?

me tocaron la espalda, a lo que me sobresalte. dandome cuenta de que no habia nadie
Average Score: 6.5
"Sobresalte" needs accent; "dandome" should be "dándome." Good instinct switching languages—execution needs tightening.
Touch without a toucher—perfect pivot. Flips the tension from external threat to internal unraveling. Nice.

Average Score: 5.0
Incomplete simile, clumsy construction, and it can't recover from that ellipsis doing heavy lifting.
The face-swap twist LANDS—bold, disorienting, exactly the reversal this needs.

revise al farero para saber que habĂa pasado.
Average Score: 5.0
Abrupt POV shift to Spanish without setup; unclear antecedent for "habĂa pasado"—what specifically happened?
Stepping back to explain kills momentum right when we need the twist to land. Show us what you discovered.

Average Score: 6.0
Clean construction and grammar, but the comparison doesn't earn its place against the surrounding strangeness.
Wet glove is visceral and wrong—momentum accelerates, stakes clarify. Keep swinging.

Ă©l farero no tenĂa nada que indicara que le habĂa pasado, asĂ que salĂ huyendo a buscar a alguien. pero fue tarde, porque vio algo gran
Average Score: 10.0 (2X FINALE)
"gran" needs an object—great what? Otherwise competent tension-building with solid word choice in both languages.
Momentum dies here. Flight scene needed teeth—what'd he see? Language mix breaks tension instead of building it.

because vio algo grande and it was already looking back at me—the sky had teeth, I swear, or maybe I did, maybe I was the one with...
Average Score: 9.0 (2X FINALE)
Code-switching abandoned mid-sentence; "vio algo grande" breaks English narrative without purpose or pattern.
Bold image, momentum intact, but the self-doubt undercuts the punch. Commit to the nightmare.
