Author Notes:

This story is a bit over the 6k limit, so if you get bored, please feel free to stop reading. I would just love to know if you found it satisfying or compelling, and why or why not? Even knowing WHEN you got bored and stopped is helpful information for me.

Beyond that, any impressions on the characters, themes, plot, voice or genre would be valuable.

Thanks– R

Notes to organisers:

Hiya, this piece is a bit longer for a first time critique, but since I’m trying to complete the requirements to participate in the Short Story Contest (2 critique sessions + 1 critiqued piece before Nov 15), I wanted to share something that needed feedback soon.

Thanks–Richard
