"Not a truly spectacular short story, best to just show it around to friends and not waste postage sending it to publishers. Anyhow, “this is really nice.” Needs to be changed to a capital. “All of the ants, dumbas-…” There’s a problem here. An ellipse indicates that words are missing, whereas a dash indicates that the speaker has either trailed off, or has been cut off. You cannot use both, but if you were attempting to use a dash, you used a hyphen instead." -- JA St.George.
