Hey folks! I have a story I wrote about five years ago. It's been rewritten several times and rejected many, many more (probably about 10 all told). Care to take a look and see what might be wrong with it? I'm willing to swap for a story or excerpt of similar size.

It's mainstream contemporary, with a humorous flavor, 2700 words.
