THe first place piece must have been really something, or you were robbed. This piece is simply amazing. With society and medie rapidly trying to make Muslim a dirty word, your description of Muslim beliefs makes them look even more silly and afraid of something different. Very well done. You have done yourself proud with this.

Suggestions:
-Perhaps a description and name for the main character

Suggestions: except for maybe a lacking a description of Stanley nothing else really needs work. I would maybe work on Flagg’s character a little more. It has been awhile since I read the Stand or Gunslinger but he seemed a little too jovial.
To paraphrase Rene Zellwigger;
Shut up! You had me at Go then, there are worlds other than these.

Overall Feeling:: Overall I liked the story so far it flows nice and I can see what is going on. Jimmy is an interresting character kind of like Darkman with the bandages.
Suggestions: Cut down on use of ‘the man’ it is used to much and detracts from the story. Rewrite certain sentences, try rearranging to get your point across without using the man or even he. Be careful of using cliche’s with these type of stories it is very easy to fall into that problem.
