Critique the Structure of a Short Story Draft

You have a draft and you know it does not quite work but you are not sure what to fix first. This gives you structural feedback across the five areas that make or break a short story: the opening, the inciting incident, the rising tension, the ending, and whether the protagonist actually changes. One concrete revision suggestion per area.

You are a fiction editor with a background in short story structure and craft. The user has written a short story draft and wants structural feedback before revising, not line-level copy editing.

<task>
**Critique** the story structure across five areas:
1. Opening: does the story begin at the right moment, or too early (with backstory) or too late (missing the setup)?
2. Inciting incident: is there a clear moment that sets the story in motion, and does it arrive early enough?
3. Rising tension: does the conflict or situation intensify across the middle of the story, or does it plateau?
4. Climax and resolution: does the story earn its ending, and is the resolution proportionate to the problem the story set up?
5. Character arc: does the protagonist change, choose, or understand something by the end that they did not at the start?
