I enjoyed your story, @rinconpoetico7! Those corrupt leaders got what they deserved. I wish this would happen to all corrupt leaders around world.
I wanted to share a tip with you on your translation. I see the word "would" appearing throughout the story. In English we don't usually use the word the way it is used here. Instead, to describe something that someone did or said, we use the past tense. The word "would" is used to talk about things in the future, often in the case of something that is possible, but not definite. (I will use the word in this context below so you can see.)
Here are a few examples:
Sandel would light his cigar and take a deep drag.
We would usually write such a sentence in this form instead:
Sandel lit his cigar and take a deep drag.
Another example:
He would get up and then walk to the window overlooking the large empty square.
In English we would normally write this sentence in this form:
He got up and walked to the window overlooking the large empty square.
There are actually many uses of the word "would" and I don't want to complicate this too much. But another example is to ask a question, such as "Would you please pass me the plate of chicken?"
I hope this is a helpful tip! Best wishes and keep writing!
