yeah, I think it works well. Straight forward telling of it. Works for me as a monologue... strucutre is sound... but sometimes I feel like I am ahead of the writer... I know what is going to happen before it happens. Too much foreshadowing. Could use a little more disconnection from one moment to the next. Example: We know as soon as the kid hits the door that something bad is going to happen. The mother doesn't know or else she wouldn't have let him go out. The reader should have the same state of mind as the character. Too me this is a good 1st draft.
