    The Pros
    This was very well written. Excellent descriptions, word choice, and dialog. The story was interesting enough. While at times I was very sucked in, a few seldom times I had to struggle through certain parts. I found your characters interesting, View in particular, and how she interacted with everyone else.
    The Cons
    There were a few mechanical errors here and there. The introduction almost killed it for me and I don't think it was necessary. As Scom said, the main character "Train" seemed the weakest of the three. The ending felt anti-climatic to me as there was a great build up only to have a very cliche and hollow ending.
    Final Thoughts
    This is some quality work here. It came off sounding very professional. I had a good time reading it, and I'm looking forward to your next piece.

    The Pros
    Marc's character was what really hooked me in this one. A simple, classic plot that ended a little roughly story-wise, but i don't think it deserves a negative rating. I'm more critical than praising though.
    The Cons
    Although its contrived as being a norm in society today, it was a little too abrupt when he simply took her back to his place. It might have simply been in the wording, but the rushed sense enveloping the "sexing" seemed to portray an irrelevancy to the point of your story, and it showed. why put that if it only ends up seeming like you wrote it to tie the story in a pretty bow?
    Final Thoughts
    you NEED atleast one character that doesn't fit the "mysterious" or "eccentric" fold. Train was never really developed enough to be anything but a medium between View and whatever message you were trying to send via her. He was a stick in the mud

Ever wonder? This is how,
Maybe yes, maybe no.
Always remember but good to forget.
Happy but mostly sad.
No one knows.
I’m losing you and everything I love.
A vivid picture in my head.
Already forgiven but never forgotten.
I try, I try.
Yet it is always hard,
Things will get better, I know.
But the fall down is scarier...
