The Past Follows

First of all, does the name Karen turn you off immediately due to the slang meaning?

And yeah, I know that's a terrible title. I'm open to any suggestions.

In addition to the MC's name, I'd love to hear any and all comments, critiques etc. I've got a pretty thick skin, so honest criticism is welcome, but there is never a reason to be cruel.

I will return all reviews of this story. Caveat: I don't do poetry at all. Never. Let me know what kind of review you'd like, general comments or more detailed stuff? And which work would you like me to review?

Thank you for reading thus far.
