Zach,

Glad to see a bit more of Bea here, getting her hands dirty! I love how we see her willingness to do some dirty work, especially for what she deems as a pretty decent payment.

Only a tiny, tiny crit here.

>Bea opened the dumpster and quickly stepped back, not believing the smell could get much worse but it found a way. Bea had not been dumpster diving before today and after this she knew she was going to update her Fiverr profile to exclude this specific activity.

Instead of repeating dumpster twice, maybe describe the black heavy lid, then the smell, then the dumpster diving. Just to break up how often the word dumpster is used. Also, the mention of what the client paid felt like an afterthought. Maybe have it more towards the beginning as a reason Bea agreed to dumpster dive for this job.

I absolutely adore her internal pun at the end of this story, as well.

Hi Blu!

Excellent suggestion; I flipped that structure around like you recommended :) I'm definitely going to start re-reading after significant edits/cuts (that word limit is a cruel mistress xD) It reads much better now IMO.

I'm so glad that you're enjoying Bea showing up ^u^ Expect tons more of her :P
