This is an interesting piece. It lead me to wonder if perhaps Jean was not more responsible than she let on. Her smile at the end made me feel that she could have really been the cause of Sam's experience for some reason. I am guessing this had to fit into a word limit for the contest, but I feel like it would be great expanded on as well. It leaves a lot of questions for the reader - which is not always a bad thing - but it seems like there is a lot that is left unexplained. Thank you for sharing your work!
Write on!
