Hmm, interesting opener. I'm curious to see where the story is going. Yeah, the title did sound familiar. Actually, I think the song (and the movie) are called "Live and Let Die".

one part, not trying to bash your story. But one part was a little bit cliched

She sighs and says, “If your father were still-“


that part, a lot of stories and movies have that like "if your father was still here" or "if your father was still alive" etc etc

[quote]He walks out of the California beach house that his dad had left his mom and him about 4 years ago. It was a surfing accident most people say that killed him, but James won’t believe it. He believes it was murder that his dad was shot and thrown off the pier and hit the sand, only to be swept of into sea by the high tide. Although, he couldn’t think of why his father would want to kill himself…but that’s the impression he got. His father was barely ever home.

“I’ll be home late, honey. Some friends an’ I are going to go surfing a bit and catch some shots.â€
