Interesting, not bad. It confused me a little, but it's good, I lost track of who was who in some parts, but other than that it's fine.

I thought this idea was a little cliche, but it was extremely well executed. The stream of conscienceness was very well done, and very believeable.

There was a typo at the beginning:

Jamie, get off me shoulder


Should be "my shoulder." Sorry, I'm anal.

Anyone who tells me my work is cliched will have their nose bitten off. I don't care about that, and it really annoys me when people obsess about how original an idea is.

I wasn't being negative, really. It was just a thought of mine on the piece.

Yeah, I know. I just see young writers go on and on about whether not something is cliched or not and treat common ideas as though they were venomous snakes. I don't believe in avoiding cliches. I believe in playing with them for all they're worth and doing the best I can with whatever ideas work for what I am trying to do. All I care about is quality of execution.

But thank you for your thoughts, and for pointing out the typo.
