  1. Wow Dan I had forgoten that you where interested in writing. Have you been taking classes or just doing it as a hobby because it's a skill that i don't have but would really like to learn.

    Anyway about the story. I enjoied it, very creative take on the bodysnatcher motif. You did a great job at giving the reader enough to try to figure things out but not so much it was obvious. I did find that I didn't like being kept in the dark about the first interview. I felt that because it was first person I should know things as he descovered them. I do see that it was better for the story that I didn't get that information right away but it was still a slight annoyance. Other than that I thought it was very well crafted.

    p.s. if you want good reading you should check out Brandon Sanderson. He is my favorite author at the moment.

    Thanks for the comment. I appreciate you taking the time to read my story. I'll see what I can do about that in revision.
