Yeah, that's probably the moment I'm most proud of. I bet the phrasing's awkward, i wrote it abruptly and in a tight time space, as well as condensing some of the story and trying to plant all these hints and things. I'll keep it in mind for sure if I come back to it.

Thanks so much! It's great to get feedback besides from my girlfriend, mom, and teachers. :)
Taking all that into consideration i'd say its pretty sweet, then. It's hard to have subtle nuance with a word limit, props for having some even in a condensed narrative.

I'll get around to reading some of yo other stuff when i have a chance in my super busy/demanding life
