I appreciate all the positive feedback I was a touch concerned that my unorthodox approach would have put some people off.

Question for the readers though, several times in the story I tried to insert a quick laugh (IE Zach vs. Ben, and the pineapple bit, etc.) as a way to keep the drama from getting too heavy but wondered if I was squandering dramatic momentum. Do you like the joke setups or would it be preferable to just go straight through and maintain the tempo of the story?

Thoughts?

P.S. have an idea for story #2, working on fleshing it out.
