This was a refreshing change of style from you. While I cannot claim to be fond of compressed, non stop action writing I do admire your effort to adapt your writing to a style that is perhaps doesn't cone most naturally to your talents. 4 stars for the story and presentation and one extra for extending yourself. 5 star total. Please keep contributing! I look forward with interest and anticipation every time your handle appears against a new tale. Thank you for sharing.
Certainly not the usual type of story I expected to find, but very nicely done, quite the unexpected.
