For me, it was highly unpredictable and full of surprises in a nice short way. The author has a knack for writing the short story, which isn&#8217;t an easy task to pull off well. The characters were strongly developed and the story flowed perfectly without flaw. The end was completely unexpected and I think my jaw may have hit the floor before it snapped shut! I won&#8217;t say anything about the story itself so I don&#8217;t give anything away, you really need to read it for yourself, but I will say there is blood and death! Woohoo! This short story was excellent and I enjoyed reading it. I&#8217;d recommend it to fans of short horror stories.
