I really like the concept, but the writing and formatting left much to be desired.  

Your slugs are in dire need of repair, and the pacing of the action/dialogue needs to be thoroughly refined.  

As they say here on the boards, read as many pro scripts as you can and keep trying!

I liked the story, was wondering which direction the ending would take us - light or dark, hope or loss? (never an easy decision
Need some work on formatting, description and sluglines.
A nip here, a tuck there.
Definitely one to revisit after you've done a few more and picked up a few more tricks.
