Oo...great job! I loved this story. Malcolm stories are the best...and yeah, "Long live Malcolm Reed"!

This was very well written--you used the lyics very well to help describe Malcolm overcoming his aquaphobia. I look forward to reading more from you.

Oh, interesting! I thought he had died but he didn't! I was kinda hoping this would be angsty, but this was good!
;)

Interesting...always good for me to read lit. that has such visionary images as I always have to graple to understand them...nice work and look forward to a next installment cause like I said, I'm having a little trouble totally getting it but think I figured it out; basically about Malcolm being reborn into a braver man that he wishes he could be and succeeds, right? Take care...
