Below are my comments and suggestions. Please heed or ignore them as you see fit. I write them only in a desire to help a fellow writer and intend no offence. Please remember that these are just my opinions. Feel free to ignore any or all, as you see fit.

Title/Description::
I like the title, but I'm not sure if it has a deeper meaning, perhaps in later chapters it will tie in.
Plot: Flow and Pacing::
I like the opening conflict and then the stealthy stalk as they check out the cabin. It gave me, as a reader, a bit of action up front, set the tone of the relationship between the two men.

Characters: Believability and Emotion::
Both Cort and T-Mack were well drawn characters, though we found out more about Cort as he was the POV character.
Both were beleivable.

Technical: Typos and Suggestions::
I found no typos, no mispellings and the grammar was well used.

Other Comments::
The only thing that I found that stuck out to me as a possible issue was when Cort was looking through the window on the western side of the cabin. He was able to see the door knob moving as his idiot companion began an entry into the cabin, yet he was able to take several steps, launch hiself into the air and knock the moron off his feet.
I had the impression from the description you gave that they were a bit too far apart for all that. It is a minor thing, and I possibly misinterpretted something, but I did reread that passage and still couldn't visualize how he could move that far that fast.


Overall Impressions and Rating::
This chapter was error free as far as grammar, spelling and timing and I am giving you the highest marks. I am curios about the girl and would like to see where this story goes.

Title/Description::
The title and the description both seem appropriate for the subject.

Plot: Flow and Pacing::
You have a beginning, where we meet a person whose dreams offer more happiness than reality does as evinced by this passage:
"Such a sense of bliss can never be perceived in reality."
From that statement we also discover that this person need to find more happiness in the real world, thus giving the character a hurdle to overcome...We have conflict.
Thirst and the difficulty in walking and in finding the water becomes a second hurdle...more conflict.
This person literally falls into the resolution of this second hurdle, and yet never drinks. Instead, God pulls the character up and takes away the thirst, while promising that somewhere else and sometime later that character would find happiness, thus giving assurance that the first hurdle will be overcome.

Characters: Believability and Emotion::
The emotions I got from your character include:
Despair: regarding happiness in the real world, implied by finding a bliss in the dream that had never been experienced in the real world.

Trepidation: The character is so happy in the dream that he/she wants to do nothing that might disturb the dream.

Faith: The figure of God has told the character that true happiness awaits in the waking world, and given time, will without doubt come true.

Technical: Typos and Suggestions::
I only saw one grammar issue that stuck out to me.
There are possibly too many eyes in this sentence:
I took a couple of steps in the general direction of the sound, my eyes still searching and my eyes caught a sudden movement a few meters ahead slightly to my left.

Other Comments::
I really like the imagery of the dreamland your character finds Her/Himself in. I assumed the character was a woman, but after rereading, I discovered that you never said anything that would determine the character's gender. The only passage that even provokes the question of the character's gender is:
"But know this, my dearest. The one person who will capture your heart, stay in it, share your life, sorrows, joys, thoughts and promise you unconditional care and support without saying any words, in that person’s heart you will find me and in his face you will see your world."
That passage would suggest that the character is female, but only if the reader makes an assumption that only a woman could find a soul-mate and the presence of God in "his face".

Overall Impressions::
This piece was labeled as type "Other". As written it works as a narrative, though I think it might be easier to read and follow if it were written with the dialogue in quotations and the story written in a more traditional story format.

In the end I was left with the feeling that this character had absolute belief that somewhere out there was a man who would make everything better, in whose face would be seen the characters whole world and in whose heart would dwell the presence of God.

I was disappointed that the character would have to find the world in another person instead within the characters own being, but sometimes that is where happiness is found and you did a good job of describing that.

I was happy in the end that this character would eventually find bliss.
