Well, what do you think? I tried not to over-edit it like last time.

If you can, please answer one or more of these questions in your comment:

- Did you understand what was going on in the story? Was it too vague?
- Did I pack too many adjectives in the first sentence? Were adjectives a problem for the whole story?
- Did the last sentence make sense? What was your reaction as you read it?
- Did you enjoy reading it? (Be honest :) What was your gut reaction as you read this story?

Thanks a lot in advance!
