Do you remember those school camping trips where you'd sit huddled around the fire at night and your classmates would take turns telling ghost stories? This short story is kind of like that. It builds up the tension and feels really creepy. But the twist at the end actually turns this into an admonishment; it is a ghost tale with a moral to the story. I liked the idea of a Black Eyed Kid knocking at the main character's door and the main character letting her in, despite the warnings of his parents. What would happen? Once you invite someone in, will you ever be able to get them out again? Interesting story with a twist that I didn't see coming.
