Asdfghjkl your stories leave me speechless, and this one is no different. I'm one to criticise people who use lots of similes and metaphores (mainly because I'm sick of my English teacher going on about them) but you just are like mind blowingly good at using them to an effect that (in my opinion) doesn't look over the top. It's just perfect. Like, if perfection was written down in a story, this story would be it.
