Writing has always been a hobby of mine, but now its more of a "what I want to do for a living" now, I've already aquired an agent and is in the process of getting my first manuscript published. I started out at about 18 years ol, writting light poetry, and now i'm writing a number of short stories for the internet only ( at least for now )visit my blog at
www.shortstorycentral.blogspot.com and have a read and the first short story called "Green Heart" I will be adding to this saga soon, enjoy!

It's definitely a good start. You do have a lot of details crammed into it, and some of the phrasing is rather awkward, like "Sarah had made her way to greet him as he unfolded himself out of his car" and ""His baseball injury knee?"" Another thing I noticed is that you do switch tenses a bit. The piece starts out in present tense, but you switch to past tense in the second sentence, then back again. There's a total of six tense shifts in the first paragraph alone, so you may want to watch out for that when you're revising.
