Very ambitious and very well executed. Bravo.

Usually I don't like stories that are told from the end to the beginning because sometimes they can be rather confusing to me and seem like more random instances than pieces of the same story. But in all truthfullness this is one reverse story I really enjoyed. From the first paragraph I was intrigued and drawn into the story, I wanted to know what had happened to Max to put him into the position he was currently in, and with each piece of the story revealed I couldn't help but feel emphathy towards Max and his actions. You are definitely a talented writer and I am looking forward to reading the dozens of other stories you have written.
