You take us through a lot in these 400 words, and we're with you all the way.<br /><br />Tiniest quibble: She hadn’t locked up - might I suggest "never" instead of "hadn't"? To me, "hadn't" makes it sound like sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn't, and she quickly searched her mind to remember if she had or hadn't. Whereas "never" conveys that she damn well KNOWS she didn't lock the door, and is suddenly feeling scared because of this.<br /><br />Also - can you spare a word to tell us the Akubra is a helmet? As a non-biker person, it took me out of the story to puzzle out what he was slapping against shorts.<br /><br />So sorry you got hit with something so nasty (the virus). Glad you're back safely & look forward to reading more of your writing soon.Beverly Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392288953821757887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-1739556632965943032011-07-23T06:50:34.651+10:002011-07-23T06:50:34.651+10:00Kiru, Heaven, Samantha, Sarah, Paula, Amy, Francin...Kiru, Heaven, Samantha, Sarah, Paula, Amy, Francine: Thank you all.
