That was so great! It really packed a punch. Plus, your diologue is great. Poor diologue could have killed this.

Very Stephen King-esque, I liked it! Your descriptions of landscapes and the physical side of things is really good, especially like, the crash scene. The ending is a little predictable but the execution of the story is good enough that it doesn't matter. Nice job!

That was pretty cool and kind of creepy. I had a feeling where it was going from the start, but the baby part was a great twist.
Good job

Interesting. Honestly. A mistake or two, of course. Take when he recognizes his wife’s hair for example. The line is “… he mumbled as she looked at the familiar car.” And I'm pretty sure the “she” is a mistake. But then again, you said you expected typos, so I won't dwell.

Maybe it was just me, but it seemed a bit rushed towards the end. Starting about when Michael realizes that it's really him there, dead. But it doesn't take away from the story. Just getting that point out there, as it may be a point of further development if you so choose.

I love the open-endedness of it. The last line makes it seem like you're leaving room to continue. Which really just gives you options, and leaves the read to ponder what's next.

Overall I thought it was rather good.
Keep at it.

Awesome story! I really liked this, it's great, how he didn't know, couldn't accept that he was dead. Thank goodness the baby made it, one spark of hope in the midst of a catastrophe!

It was pretty interesting, only thing was that i could tell that was coming when it says " they seemed to hear me" It was a good story, just word it a little better and it seems like it'll be better
