When Klingon music is judged positively, the word <'ey> can be used to
describe it. Applying it to poetry or prose seems natural enough that I
use it regularly.

<tIq> can be used to mean "tall" as well as "long", so it is probably
better than <runHa'>.

This doesn't quite work. If you put a <-Daq> on the <bIng>, it starts to
make sense. Even better, you could say <... rar bIQ'a' bIng 'och>.

Should be <tera' nuH tIQ qach>, unless someone is getting kidnapped
somewhere...

<yolmo' 'Iw HoSmoHlu'> is fine, but could be simplified. It means pretty
much the same thing as <yolmo' HoS 'Iw>, or even better, <'Iw HoSmoH
yol>. There are subtle differences in meaning, but I don't think they
make any difference for your story.

maj. Very nice story. I would reccommend it to other beginners as a good
story to read for practice. Plus, it's quite funny in parts.
