I found this interesting; It's well written, in my opinion. The flashback describing Anna and Neil is very powerful; he comes across as a true psychopathic type. I have two small constructive (at least, I hope they're constructive!) crits: as much as I like the flashback, it still seems too sudden, i.e the crossover from Anna's present situation, to her past memories. Although, not very helpfully I'm afraid, I'm not certain what would smooth the transition more. Perhaps this aspect only bothers me though... The other one is simply: "You WHOOORE!" I guess because this word has a "w" start, it doesn't read right; I found myself gazing at the word, knowing how you meant the character to be saying the word, sort of stuck on it. It spoilt the flow for me. Perhaps just: "You WHORE!" would be just as powerful? All in all, enjoyable; and leading me wanting to know what's going to happen when Anna meets up with this unbalanced Neil again.
