A few notes...

  • I feel like there's a guy named "Jason" in this story, but I'm not sure.
    You use the name "Jason" too many times. I understand what you're doing but it's just a few too many and some of them seem out of place.
  • You start with V.O. but then on the last page you don't use it. Is Roger actually talking here?
  • "Roger puts his hand between his palms." Do you mean he put his head between his palms?
  • You definitely made me feel for Jason's wife and mother. I felt their pain at the funeral and afterward.
  • I also felt for Roger and his remorse for what he's done. Good job.

This was a quick tale of not being able to take back things we've done and living with the consequences.

Well done.

Oh repent and lament. Couldn't empathize with the narrative at all. It felt to me too obviously full of remorse and contrite.
