Oh please, your story does not suck. They're just missing out :-)) Keep up with what your doing. You gain some and lose some:)). But I like it a lot!!!
I like this so far. :) The story has my attention and kept me interested through the reading. The concept also is starting off very differently which I like. And I really liked the word choices you used, One suggestion from me is trying to limit the number of times you start sentences off with saying "I". But the story is great. :)
