Oh, cool! I really enjoyed the prose in the first part--step-by-step, matter-of-fact, the way Chase comes to a conclusion. I was a little thrown by the sudden switch in format, but once I saw what you were doing, I thought it worked pretty well: certainly amusing, especially the soap opera version. But the last line is my favourite: Nine year old female, concussion, fevered, the only victim in a car accident, isn’t the only unlucky person today. It wraps up the strength of the first section and it twists all the different scenarios into one, very real, situation. Nicely done.
