So.
Cool, I liked the story. Writing is awesome. I always looked forward to english classes where creative writing was invloved. I mean Economics is boring enough without having to write a freakin 10pg essay on the effects of currency exchange in China(That's an example I never wrote a paper on currency exchange in China I mean who the fuck cares about that, really).
The person who's estate a time traveler would get would be worth a lot because it is property? Or would the estate be like stocks and bonds and cash that matured to worth more? I don't think you can leave beneficiary money, stocks or bonds in a will(or life insurance policies right. Art?). I think you have to make choices as to who gets what, can you really leave an opened ended will? For stocks I think you have to change the beneficiary with the firm you bought the stock from. I don't think a will can act as a long term bank account, but maybe it can. Also, I felt the main character in the story to be a bit distant which is cool because he from the future?, but I dont know I always want a strong sense of a main character in a story, this is more of a longer story kind of thing though. Because this is a short story you cannot develop the character a lot, in lieu of backstory. I was eager to read the whole time, the story has good pace. I was thinking as a serious change to the story what if it happened at a bus station or Airport! For some reason I pictured that bar Stingers we went to that night as the setting for the story.
keeping writing Scott! I'll read it all.
