Greetings, Rick!

I've had this in my review list for a while, but was never quite sure what to say about it. First off, I'd like to ask why it has the code "B-2" in the title. Is this indicative of a second draft or something like that? Perhaps you should remove that, because it appears to be a well polished item, able to hold its own.

Now, the premise is a little peculiar. Quite honestly, there's no way on the planet that a man can keep his back to everyone everywhere. When he was signing the guestbook, backwards, his face was facing outwards, and there must've been people behind him.

Putting aside the illogical nature of the premise, I like the way you've built up the atmosphere and gradually unfolded the lesson of it all. When we forget where we came from, we'll have a difficult time understanding where we're going. Even when we're running from pain, we need to be aware of where we're running to. The quiet surrealism of the setting and theme is a gentle reminder to take life seriously, hold on to our memories and honor our history.

I'll give my old suggestion of Size 4 Verdana font to ensure a pleasant reading experience for everyone. You should also add two relevant genres, such as Supernatural, Psychology, Paranormal, Drama, Relationship, or Folklore.

Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing *HeartT*
