So I've never reviewed for this site before, nor have I been reviewed, so here's hoping I'm not overly harsh or soft in my critique. That being said, here are my thoughts on the short story:
The good:
1) The idea of a Golem tearing it up downtown is cool. Kudos for a good idea for a story.
2) The action was clear and concise. I knew exactly what happened, although a description of a police car getting crunched would be fun
The bad:
1) The introduction is confusing, and not in a good way. You begin by describing a Golem in modern day, so yes, from the Golem's point of view, he would not understand much of what is going on or what he is seeing. Because of that, the Golem could not accurately describe much of what she sees. However, some things will be familiar (smells, people, common things that have not changed over the millenia, i.e. chairs, stone/pavement floors, light shining off metal etc.). In the beginning your descriptions are vague, and it felt like you were trying hide the fact that the Golem was in modern day by purposefully being vague. I would rather see you have the Golem describe the familiar as best she could before approaching the things she can't explain, or at least give a good mixture of the two. Otherwise, it is hard to picture what is going on, which should not be the case.
2) The orientation in time was confusing. After two reads, I finally figured out that the middle portion is a flashback that occurs before the opening scene. I'm okay with flashbacks, but there needs to be some type of clue in the opening scene that previous action has occurred. From the initial paragraph, I thought that for some bizarre reason this Golem had mysteriously awakened next to a bus stop. There needs to be some cue letting us know that the Golem just arrived on the scene, and some idea of where he was or what he was doing before hand.
3) I needed some more background to explain the way the Golem is acting. For example, where does she get her moral compass? Why is killing humans bad if the humans are trying to harm her? Why is it important that he obey the "rule" not to harm humans, but okay to break the rule of not breaking and entering? Why can't the Golem recognize fear, or the fact the people might be afraid of it (surely not everyone back in Babylonian times saw a Golem everyday at lunch...)? What is the Golem made of? How can it cry? Why does it breathe? Why does it assume the bus is a monster and not a chariot?
Okay... I need to stop there. I made copies on the original document using MS Word's track changes if the author wants me to send them to him. I hope my comments helped
Oh, and I'm not trying to trash your story--I thought it was good--I just always dissect movies and books to make sense of them. You don't have to answer all of the questions above, but some of them should be answered so that your reader is not confused.
Best of luck!
