What do you think of this piece of writing? Honest criticism please?

Part of the response to your question will also be a question. How old are you and why are you doing this writing? Are you writing for an ignment or just for pleasure? Is there a deadline for the completion of the work? Don't be afraid to critique your own work and do as many rewrites as you need to make it exactly what you want. Some of your story is very predictable and you could use your imagination more. The reader is very aware the boy's name is Austin. You don't need to keep referring to him by name but could use pronouns instead. The panic your would anticipate from someone in Austin's position doesn't seem to carry throughout the story. You have a good start and base from which to work.
