Oscar,
I think you provided us with a very in depth character in Leah. I cared for her. I felt like I understood her and where she was coming from.
I understood your story and the direction it was going, which is good.
I enjoyed the ending.
My only issues where with the dialogue. It didn't feel as strong as your action. It felt too awkward and pressured.
Example:
Page 1.
LEAH
I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamt I had traveled back in time, to see you when you were a kid. Or something similar. I didn't really understand it.
-I think you are on the right path but I would eliminate extra lines such as, Or something similar.
LEAH
I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamt I had traveled back in time, to see you when you were a kid. I didn't really understand it.
Those are just my opinions.
Overall, good work.
All the best,
Marty
