"Freeman"

Main character Caleb is content with living a mediocre life until he goes to freeman to help his brother clean up after a horrible storm devastates the town. After finding a dead body in the wreckage of a destroyed trailer, Caleb decides that he wants to stop being just mediocre and live a life where he can do better than just living in a trailer.
I liked this story a lot because the character reached his resolution in a way I had not expected.
I liked the addition of Jared. I felt like Jared had just enough of a place in the story to serve a strong purpose without having to be overly talkative to so do. Good use of a secondary character.
The imagery of the story was very strong in my opinion. I liked how you used new way of describing the intensity of the heat. You avoided cliche terms like scorching and hot as hell. I liked how smell was used to describe the surroundings and not just visual clues. Consider having Caleb describe his trailer at the end. Maybe he is looking around the room at his own trailer while thinking back at what he helped to clean up in Freeman. Maybe he'll remember the trailer where he found the spoiled food, the woman removing her boxes before setting her trailer ablaze, then the dead body as he reaches his resolution.
Also the final paragraph makes it sound as though the trailer burning and the finding of the body happened the same day.
In the last part when Jared asks Caleb "You did that on purpose,right?" what exactly is he talking about? I was a little bit confused. Is he asking him if he fainted on purpose if did fell back down on the couch on purpose?
I noticed one error on page 1. In paragraph 2, sentence 4 the has should be had to continue to paragraph's past tense. Also a comma missing in Paragrapg 3, sentence 4 and in the last sentence where Jared's clothes are described.
