I like the self-talk. Yet I wonder what hardships are at home. This is a good background story for a sequel. :)

Gorgeous! And I agree, this really looks like it could be setup for a larger story.

very nice..good detail

I definately like this, almost how I feel occasinally, minus the people yelling at home… typically thats my mother yelling at inanimate objects… lol anyways I agree with all of the above :)
