As for the flame war getting started..... Everyone is entitled to a different opinion, and everyone will "see" this story in a different perspective. Writing ability is not one simple attribute, it takes many abilities to write a truely great piece of art. Age and intelligence like you two have stated, but it is more than that. The way you live, and events that occur in life, your firends, quality of life all change your writing. People who have a passion for literature will usually be able to write better then someone who doesn't really care. The list could go on forever.Your both right in your own mind, so don't fight about it; just sit back and enjoy this great story. Keep up the good work Tenshi, I will surely read the next one. I second that :D
