I love this piece. I love the anonymity of the main character, and how that in itself connects to the idea of ordinariness. This short story is beautiful, and I think if you wanted to (or perhaps you already have), you could easily publish it. I noticed a few spelling/grammar errors, but nothing glaring. I love the concept of an average main character because most stories are about people who are really intelligent or beautiful, but this is about an average person: this is about every person. Everyone can relate to feeling plain or unfulfilled with their lives. Or perhaps I feel more of a kinship with your character because I too was raised in a small town. Great job. I love it.
