  If you have so many unfinished projects going on now to consider expanding on this one, Steve, why throw it open to discussion here?

  Hi Steve,
  
  I know how it is to have several projects tugging at you. From experience, I have found it is best to give in to the one that is taking your attention and refusing to be quiet!
  
  I like the piece you have written, especially the way you have incorporated the aspects of the future into the tale in a matter-of-fact way. It's stands alone as it is, but there is also many ways that you can take it forward. I was intrigued by the illness of the main character and how it may become an issue going forward (put me in mind of Gattaca), also I wondered if the tramp and his instrument that was more than expected, was going to develop into anything.
  
  This site is for asking advice on any aspect of writing that is on your mind. I'm glad you posted this question, as often seeing how other people are approaching their work helps me.
  
  Cheers,
  Barb

  @Amarantha I was more interested in comments as it stands. I just mentioned the expanding of it because someone elsewhere suggested it.
  
  @Barb Ah, the illness: high blood pressure. It's so common, but imagine in the next couple of decades when insurance companies start with genetic screening. They will be looking for excuses not to insure just about anything. It won't happen here, right? Or will it? Will there still be an NHS in 10 years?
