Overall, it was skillfully written and actually entertaining to read. Go you =D
Thanks very much, I really appreciate it.

As for insanity, I guess I should've mentioned one part that I missed in the story: the story from a "Picture Story" assignment that I did in my Creative Writing class. I had to pick any picture and write a story based off of it. The protagonist is really a bus stop. Here's the picture.

So yeah, not mentioning that the protagonist is a bus stop really changes the story. But it's actually more interesting when you assume it's a person.
