Real good.

Yeah Mikey,

That's a damn good story you have here. There were a few minor mistakes but nothing glaring enough to put me off reading.

Good job.

Not bad, Mikey

This story is a little close to real life for a lot of people, I think. But I don't see that as a bad thing in this case.

You have an excellent and quite original concept and you write well.

My main suggestion would be to find ways to "show, not tell" or to rely on interior monologues instead of using quite so much narration to reveal key plot elements.

There were also a couple minor errors (e.g. a t-shirt that morphs into a blouse)and a couple typos. They're trivial, but they can diminish a reader's crucial "suspension of disbelief."

In most cases, I'd call STET on the story but this one is good enough to deserve being made even better. Perhaps you might consider treating it as a first draft, and then reworking some of the glitches? Your story is worth the additional time and effort.
