A pretty short tutoring one.
background: I tutor essay writing, among other things. Sometimes I get someone who wants me to proofread a short story they're doing. I'm a writer myself, so I know I am going to be very hard on them, and thus deliberately hold back.
I ask the customer, once I see that it is a short story, if they want me to just proofread it, or do they want me to make comments on the story as well.
They confirm they want me to make comments on the story.
It's very reminiscent of Divergent so far, with everyone being split into groups and that sort of thing. I point out that "Death camps" might not be the greatest name for a government to deliberately give to something, that they might use a more PC name, and then I guess the student decided I was too harsh as they logged off.
I'm sure it could have possibly been internet problems, but the timing was suspicious. First comment I make and they're gone?
