I'm back!

I like your descriptions. My favorites were, "...he blotted out the classroom..." and in the next paragraph I think you meant 'mourning' not morning. But even so, I like that part of the sentence too. "...a hallucination of Holden's mourning heart and mind."

You're an excellent writer, keep it up!

This is good, you're a good writer. And now I'm itching to know what happened with Joseph... and the mother! Grr... suspense!

But keep up the good work!
