I like the unfolding story, the way things mentioned casually fit into place as the story concludes, and the fact that, by reading that first paragraph, there is an uneasy implication that Sasha DID screw up somehow, that Beth found out what she knew, and that we're reading the whole thing posthumously.

I like that it's all a little ambiguous -- makes it a bit more creepy and thought-provoking.

<3!

Thanks, hon! Yes, I did think that the reader might only have found this message because Sasha fucked up, and now Beth is onto her. Or even that you, the reader, could be Beth... it drove my tutor a bit potty marking it, but she gave me a good mark nonetheless!
