Rebekkah,
Were you born in Switzerland? I know from someone from another site from another site (which I won't mention for fear of promoting another site) that English is not taught much at all there, so I congratulate you fo writing a story entirely in English...a very good one at that.

Eek, sorry, that gives a wrong impression. I'm actually dual Swiss-American, and much more American. So English is my first and best language. Don't even speak Swiss dialect, just standard German.

...this held me entrapped from the first to the last word...thank you
