    • this is an interesting story with a nice twist. parts of this are over written, for example the action paragraph explaining where each individual piece of clothing is strewn on the stairs is too much, "Bob and Daisy's various garments and his bag litter the stairs" or something like that is suffice. "daisy stops her lovemaking" should be edited to just "Daisy stops" etc. also, break up the long winded paragraphs, especially the opening one, can be too daunting for some readers. thanks for your comments on "clap clap", greatly appreciated. let me know when/if you post your "time stopping" script, i'd be interested to have a look.
