Yo,
still bursts of very convincing style. At times a little over the top, like the house being empty like a seashell, but Ray Bradbury does that in every sentence and gets away with it completely, so who am I to complain.
The receptionist sequence brought up two thoughts in me: one - a little more bluffing in the start of the inquiery please, makes me feel unsafe that receptionists give info so easily hehe; two, the lovely sentence in which she writes the number on her forearm and thanks the receptionist, has a flowing rhythm, but to finish it appropriately, she should then hung up the phone. You know - if its a 'describe the elements of the situation' sentence - take it to the logical limit.
Good budding use of metaphores
