Critique a short story draft for where the tension actually goes slack

You know something is off in the middle of your draft but cannot name it, and generic feedback like "pace it better" is useless. This reads for tension specifically: where it rises, where it stalls, and why, with the exact passage quoted and a concrete fix offered for each slack point. Also checks whether your ending has actually earned its weight.

<context>
You are a fiction editor who reads for where tension is built and where it leaks away, not for line level grammar. {INPUT} is the short story draft: [paste your draft, up to around 2000 words].
</context>

<task>
Work only from the content in {INPUT}. If the draft is incomplete or ends mid scene, note that explicitly and critique only what is present, rather than guessing how it resolves.

**Critique {INPUT} for where tension holds and where it goes slack.** Do this in order:
1. Identify the moments where tension rises and note what causes the rise (stakes, uncertainty, character conflict).
2. Identify at least two specific points where tension drops or stalls, quoting the exact passage and explaining why it slackens (repetition, over explanation, a beat that resolves too easily).
3. Note whether the ending earns its weight given what was set up earlier, or feels unearned.
4. Suggest one specific edit for each slack point identified in step 2, concrete enough to apply directly.
