Something told me I should check on this yesterday, and got it within a few hours of you posting it. The story is coming along nicely! And considering how soon our character looks to be set on getting home, it seems that things won't go according to plan... ;D
I hope something comes of that burning wreck stuck in the hillside.
Hopefully I can be more supportive in the future than pointing out a few typos and misplaced dialog others no doubt have spotted already.
