Awesome story so far. I've never read any of your others though. I realy like the begining with the computer file log and how it ends with whoever was writing it typing in the lyrics to a Johny Cash song. Verry creepy, sort of Steven King style.

Hope you write more soon.

Only had time for the first couple posts, but I started. Found one thing:

"As he passed got out of the car,"
- No 'passed', perhaps?

"His body was completely paralyzed, and he could feel himself drifting dangerously close to the edge of unconscientiousness."
- unconsciousness is what you're looking for. ;) Also, further along in the same paragraph, you use 'to' instead of 'too'.

"Some sort of switch in John's head turned on. This was survival, kill or be killed."
- I feel like this should've been earlier, like when he was being strangled.

"This was a moment he would later dwell on as he realized how easily he had been ready to take another man's life, how natural it had felt."
- To be blunt, this just kills the scene. It breaks the flow and takes the reader's attention away from the instant, the fight. Bring it up later.

In the post of the two above comments, you've got at least a couple typos. You might check that out.
