Right. I found this a little confusing at first, because it seems to me as though the bit with the paramedic comes a while after the dialogue at the beginning, chronologically speaking. At least, that’s how it comes across..
Perhaps you could put in something (dots, asterixes etc.) to show that the second bit doesn’t follow directly on.
That said, I like how you turned the mental image of harrassed office drone into rebellious paving! A good take on the challenge, and nice to see you getting involved with challenges, it’s always a fun way to break the Ficly ice so to speak…
I’d consider italicising rather than capitalising as well – might read better.
Anyhoo, well done – with some tweaks this could be even better – MH :)
Aw I love this. Poor cobblestones getting stepped on all the time.
For me it wasn’t really confusing at all. I was quite happy to follow along with the dialogue and see where it was taking me. And I liked the destination.
Hmm… It could’ve been just me leaping to conclusions (your train of thought was obvious on the re-read) but I was thinking about some piece of clothing that the man was wearing. Great story, maybe indenting the paragraph at the beginning of the second part would have set it apart?
