Thanks for the compliments Fordman.
Actually, when I wrote the story, I was (and still am) thinking of making it two stories, one from Kevin's point of view and the other from Marissa's point of view. So, I stuck with just the single point of view to see how the format would fly.
I actually used to write quite a bit, and had actually had great reviews from my profs in college, however, since my stroke four years ago writing has been a slow climb back up. Luckily it was a minor one, but my writing skills suffered due to it.
Again, thanks for the compliments and the critique...any help to allow me to get back to writing is greatly appreciated.
