I really like your writing style. Your words flow together effortlessly. I'm jealous!

History being described as a person is a very fresh, interesting idea, and I like how she almost seems kind of bored.

It'd be nice if you'd continue this. You've created a wonderful beginning to a story with lots of potential!

The only problem I have is with the tense changes. Watch out for that. Sometimes it's present and then it's past. ("History nods close to your ear" to "History then leaned back from your ear.") This happens several times, and this opening would be much more engaging if you stuck with one tense.

Anyways, this is great. I'll definitely check out some of your other stuff.

Kudos and good luck,
Steve :)
