Thank you so much for the response ceb, a lot of very good advice. I can't say I agree about turning this into a novel though...I didn't intend for it to have an extremely deep plot, and I can't say I see the potential that you do for it to be developed further. I'm interested in publishing eventually, but I thought this story would be better to use as a learning experience.
