Nice short, Ed. The story was a pretty good one. One of the only suggestions I have (if this is intended for film) is that there is a lot of dialogue. I don't know how you would get a 13-year-old to memorize all of that dialogue, unless they wanted to just learn the ideas and go for a little improv. The Environment:Entertainment was a good vehicle for the set up. There were a few typos, you might want to go through and check for those. Not bad overall.
