Eric "Overlap"

Overlap Eric, I like how you experimented with time periods in this piece and you incorporated the title with the actual story by overlapping the stories. It seems as though the child that passed away and her family were in the 18th or 19th century because of the fact that the child died of some sort of “disease” or “sickness”—which wasn’t completely explained. My favorite thing about this piece is that, even though they are in different periods, we find out that they are in the same city and possibly the same exact land/property. I like the way that overlaps, however, I think this could have continued a bit more at the end because as a reader I wasn’t sure if the main character was about to Google the area, or write a story about what he dug up—I wanted more of that. I think that you could’ve also given the reader more information on the what time periods the characters were in exactly because the more current characters words and actions seem as though they could be from the 20th century to today. other than that I liked it.
