Wow their lives are really really different. The last line was so down. When they go off to die? It just made it all.

Agree with Blu on that last line. Nicely done, though I was torn between feeling for the guy and wanting to smack him upside his fool head. No way to get out of it without hurting someone, sooner or later.

the poor guy seems conflicted. His post graduate life is dissapointing, plus hes hit a rock and a hard place with his love interest. You manage to connect well with your readers on this one. Conveying real genuine emotion. Getting your readers emotionally invested. Mark of a good story writer.. U definately have what it takes!

good description of this familiar feeling (not so much now, but just after college: yepp.)
