Besides the glaring grammatical errors, this reads more like a synopsis than a story. The tone was too conversational. It's vague, meandering, and leaves huge holes in the plot.

When did Frank tell Tobias about being in a mine or that he'd traveled back in time? You never mentioned what town they were in, but Frank says they're in Washington DC, I'm sorry, that just doesn't make sense. These guys not being in a little cage with a scalpel in their chests instead of being given a million dollars apiece and an island of their own is beyond belief. The bit about Tobias going back in time and becoming his own father is very oedipal, but the capsule says they were from 2405 and this experiment happened in 2105 at the latest. So, where are the extra 300 years?

If this is the first thing you've written, I'll call it a good first whack. Otherwise, practice practice practice.

Edit: D'oh! The story says 2140, not 2405. I'm big enough to admit my error.

i dont know what to say...
I agree with derek...
it didnt rock my boat, but thats just my opinion.
You should continue writing as much as you can....remember...any critique is good critique.

Ilan Bouchard is an unknown quantity at this point
Mikhalt, this is the fourth time you post this. Fifth, if I include the one that got deleted.
Apparently you wrote this in 15 minutes. Why in the world does it deserve five threads?
If you made a single change, it would be one thing. But the fact that all you do is post the same story here gets extremely aggravating, and could be viewed as pretentious.
