Will surely keep all your points in mind in my next story, Gill. Thanks again for your valuable feedback.

Love this one. Well constructed and to the point. There are many little grammar and syntactical faults, but those in the speech should be OK as they reflect the speakers use of language. However I think you need to work on differentiating the voices, they all sound remarkably similar - could be a single person. I need to be shown three distinct styles of speech and tone to read the characters without constant back-refering to who says what. Although you give them different points of view they don't sound enough different.
Try reading it aloud and thinking of three different people: one who personifies each point of view to you - it could be film stars, politicians, whatever, but it will help to make them varied enough.
Excellent story though.

I had to write a story that would take 14 minutes to read, recently, for a radio competition. It was just under 2,000 words. As I can't copy and paste this I don't know its word-count. Does that tally with your estimate of 14 minutes reading time?
