Thank you for your response. The reason for this being so long I believe is two-fold; first I had written this story for a sci-fi mag but never sent it out. The second reason is because when I wrote this story, which was about a year ago, I had felt that the characters in my stories were lacking, this was an exercise to make them better. The minimum amount of words for said magazine was somewhere along the lines of four thousand words, I don't remember exactly, cut it was around there. I believer that may also explains why it wasn't as scary as it could have been. As far as what happens to people in a vacuum, you are right, I didn't do any research into that, and I guess it shows, which sucks. Also I didn't know that the people going insane, I was shooting for more of a zombie, was used so often. I thought it would be know that Walters was messing with him, making and exaggeration about what really happened, and because what did happen wasn't really know he had a license to play with it. I suppose I could have handled that better as well. I do appreciate your feed back and will used it to improve my writing, so once again, thank you.
