This is reaaallyyy good. Seriously, everything flows so well, and you're a great characterizer (not a real word obviously, but you can roll with it). Especially the detail about Samson's mother always wearing men's shoes, it was like, gah. Kind of killed me in a tiny way.
However, I think the way you wrote her and Michael's argument during the coffin-shopping in the style of a script didn't quite fit in with the style of the rest of the story. Also, in the sentence, "Tears hotter than the air...and into my long, dirty blonde hair," I feel like the description of her hair wasn't really needed, since she already mentioned what her hair was like. Like, it might just be me, but when I read a story written in 1st person, I imagine the person talking to me, and when someone speaks, they'd usually just refer to their hair as "my hair".
But I really like this. It's kind of magical in its own way, and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Seriously, why has no one found this? I will say it over and over again, you are so damn talented and the way you write opens portals and doors into worlds where I want to stay for hours. If it's the last thing I do, I will make sure everyone reads this.
