Good story Patrick. This could really be a great piece of writing with some work. Please check out this link http://www.mspfictionworkshop.com/how-to-join-the-workshop/
Check out all the articles in advice from the pro's. My guess is that you would like to rewrite this after reading those articles. Any good writing goes through many re-writes..... Joining this group will take your writing to new levels
