It took me a moment, but I got it.

I like it; great sense of humor, and really interesting characters/situation.

It’s hard to tell if Ed is just a really nice guy, or extremely calm and cool, or just plain annoying, like some ultimate stuck up swot kid. It’s also hard to tell whether Jim and the nasty driver behind are the worst ones, mostly pushing Ed into this situation. But I really like that — how the characters interact, and you see pros and cons of the different personalities.

Was going to give it 4 because it felt like the character was unfinished, but then I remembered the story is supposed to be open, so 5 it is :)

An alien lacking our quality of meanness. I like it.

Would’ve given it a five, but the lack of a break between paragraphs costs at least a point.

I like the ambiguity of the story, in that, I don’t really know who the DB is here(db= douchebag)…The obvious one is the guy whose inability to wake up makes you late for work-BUT- not being a morning person, it could just as easily be the person trying to steal 15 precious minutes of your sleep…all in all a really good opening scene with promising characters to develope:)

Oh. I thought the ‘alien’ trait was extreme punctuality at first. Ed reminds me somewhat of of Sheldon in Big Bang Theory; less irritating but yeah.
