This is a genuinely engaging story, with competent prose and vivid description. It definitely whets the appetite for more by creating compelling images and distinct tension. I would suggest that the first scene is confusing, and it might make the story more appealing to have a stronger introduction; you obviously have the skill to create clear intrigue, and the first few paragraphs are the ideal place to grab a reader's attention. The pertinent details contained in the opening could be revealed later once the reader is good and hungry for some explanations of all the odd happenings.

i enjoyed this. its not neccessarily the genre i often read but i thought it was good all the same. i liked the way that you drifted from each of the characters and the mysterythat is involved. Oh i liked your prologue too.

Well that was interesting, lol. With all the details that you wrote, it was easy to visualize the world you created. I like the way you shifted the story back and forth between the two characters. One thing that I want to know is what the characters look like, but overall I think it's a good story. Keep up the good work.
