Khasab

This is the story of Ron, a smuggler, who has a change of heart - due to traumatic event - about his life and his future. I'm curious what people think of the use of italics for the protaganists inner thoughts. Also, how the POV works...am I confusing the narrator with the protaganist? Finally, as a short story, is it too complex, too disjointed, too much extraneous content? Thanks for reading!
