I loved the... juxtaposition? of the first couple of paragraphs. Sets the mood of the story. :)

I deeply envy Faven, I mean, he can just skip parts of winter. Yeah, that is a strange thought.

This is getting interesting, update ASAP!

Later!

Haha! Interesting story! 'Specially loved the part about Pittsburgh's transit system. You kinda forgot to mention the crappy-always-being-worked-on roads, though. Or maybe that's just me. Back on topic, I'm definately following this story for a while, least 'till it's mostly done.

Later!
