Re-write Blues

I made the deadline.  Maybe.

I completed the rough in time, turned it out at about 2800 words.  It is now around 3100 and will probably need about 500+ more to make it work.

So, dunno if I made the deadline.  Sucks.

From the feedback I received from my group, I realize that this story is a larger project than I initially  thought it'd be.  I went into it seeking to write out a snapshot of a place, and ended with a somewhat unrealistic portrayal of a person facing imminent death, and not getting changed enough by it. 

This leads to my question of the day -- when facing complete realization that one is about to die, and then finds him/herself alive, how would that person be changed?  

Can something like that even have an answer?

Will.

Yea, but that wouldn't fall into this story by it's nature. The character involved has to realize this in a few hours he is adrift in space without chance of rescue (so he feels). Certain things have to come out to flesh out the character here, and thatt's the point I am at with it.

Well, good luck, then.

Need all the luck I can get!

The deadline is 10-31. Should be able to edit it to a more acceptable level by then...
