Definitely an original story. I like that you've presented us with a lot of the background to where this scene came from, but not so much as to overload us with it. The one thing I would suggest is spending a little more time on setting your scene. As the writer, you've probably got the exact image of what's happening in your head, but we as readers don't. So just describe it a little more - tell us what is smelt like, what it felt like, what it sounded like. Other than that, great story idea and interesting prologue. I look forward to reading more. ~Gliss
