    • Ste, you probably know now that I dig unconventional stories and in the opening few pages I wasn't sure what to think, but as things went on I found myself really enjoying this. It's odd, it's weird, but it's also got a poetic elegance to it with Beth's initial fears that the Iceman would freeze them with just one look - which wasn't true; he actually froze her heart with his love. Very different kind of story but I liked what I read. Nice job!

    • Thanks Anthony, yeah this was just an exercise as I haven't been writing that much lately. Just used it to get me back into the swing of things. Very weird story I know haha.

    • Wow, that was weird, dude! You write really well, and the story was engaging. This is completely unfilmable though because of the sweeping locales and the fact that it's someone else's original work, but as an exercise I thought it was very well executed. Anthony
