Here's a short story I'm trying to write, please give me your rating, and if there's anything needed to fix. The Visit - 0mega Herald walks into the aged room of his boss's office. Mr. Calvin was looking out the window, down at the many passing people, who like Calvin, were minding their business. Herald didn’t know why Calvin had summoned him to his office at this time of hour; It could’ve been for anything. Calvin turns at the creak of the door to his office opening. “Ah, Mr. Oswald, it seems you were able to make it here on time. Would you like a cup of tea?” “No thank you. If I may ask,” Herald started, “why did you summon me to your office?” Mr. Calvin chuckled at this. “Oh, no reason, I’ve just thought we could chat for a bit.” Calvin shows Herald a vibrant velvet chair. Calvin sits down at his own chair - a chair for a king. Herald sits at his own chair, and sternly watches Calvin. “I wanted to speak to you about your thoughts on this world.” asked Calvin. “My thoughts on this world?” Herald copies. Calvin, looks at Herald with serious concern, “Yes Oswald” Calvin confirms. Herald looks around the room, old, dusty books about war and business lined the shelves, pictures of deceased boss’s tilted in their frames. And then here was Calvin, a man with an old age, his head holding scars from past mistakes. Herald didn’t belong here. Herald was like every other person out there on the streets. “Oswald are you alright?” Calvin breaks the silence. Herald looks back up at Calvin, after seemingly staring at the floor for an unwanted amount of time. “Oh, u-um yes” stuttered Herald. “My views on the world? I really don’t know sir.” Herald manages to say before Calvin spoke again. “You don’t know? Then why did I call you here Oswald? Did I call you here to make jokes and gossip about the higher-ups in this world?” Calvin asked.

I think that you could add a bit more detail on what the characters are thinking throughout this entire course of conversation
Herald walks into the aged room of his boss's office. Mr. Calvin was looking out the window, down at the many passing people, who like Calvin, were minding their business. Herald didn’t know why Calvin had summoned him to his office at this time of hour; It could’ve been for anything. Calvin turns at the creak of the door to his office opening. “Ah, Mr. Oswald, it seems you were able to make it here on time. Would you like a cup of tea?” You're mixing past and present tense here. Try to stay consistent. Words after semicolons don't need capitalization as they're part of the same sentence. Mr. Calvin chuckled at this. “Oh, no reason, I’ve just thought we could chat for a bit.” Calvin shows Herald a vibrant velvet chair. Calvin sits down at his own chair - a chair for a king. Herald sits at his own chair, and sternly watches Calvin. “I wanted to speak to you about your thoughts on this world.” asked Calvin. “My thoughts on this world?” Herald copies. "Shows" is probably not the word you're looking for here - maybe beckons or gestures towards. "Sternly" has connotations of displeasure towards inferiors that I don't think you're trying to imply. Herald looks around the room, old, dusty books about war and business lined the shelves, pictures of deceased boss’s tilted in their frames. And then here was Calvin, a man with an old age, his head holding scars from past mistakes. Herald didn’t belong here. Herald was like every other person out there on the streets. “Oswald are you alright?” Calvin breaks the silence. Might want to work on your copy editing. Lots of grammatical errors throughout the excerpt. "Boss's" is possessive; you want to use "bosses" here. Overall it's not a bad introduction to a work but I think that the grammatical errors and misuse of words detract from the reading.
Thanks for the feedback, I tried to implement "bosses" in the second paragraph but received an error on how it was wrong.
From who? I think it should be obvious that you mean the plural usage and not the possessive usage. There aren't any apostrophes in the plural form of that word.
No, it was an underlined error on google docs
It's probably because of issues in your earlier clause in that sentence: "Herald looks around the room, old, dusty books about war and business lined the shelves, pictures of deceased boss’s tilted in their frames." You added a bunch of random commas that probably confused the grammar parser.
the comma in between old and dusty was supposed to be there, hmm
The comma between old and dusty is option because you're only listing two things. The commas between room and old should not be there: you aren't separating the two independent clauses correctly.
*optional
I see the error now, imma fix it in the doc lol
So i ran a grammar check cuz I'm horrid at it and found a few things. " world.” " should change to " world,”" "And then here was Calvin" should change to "And then there was Calvin" " a man with an old age" should change to " a man with old age" that's all i found for now
yo thats actully teally good
perfect
