Review: a short story that would make more sense as the beginning of a longer piece
Rating: 3 out of 5

A gunshot followed by a scream opens this short story. As a stand alone, this story doesn't make sense to me. There wasn't any conflict. A woman is shot, a man finds her and he loves her? I didn't understand exactly what was going on. The writing of this story is good. The pacing is good and then it ends very abruptly. This story reads to me like the beginning of a longer piece where I could watch as the characters develop and their relationship deepens. That would make sense to me. But just as is, it wasn't working for me. 3 stars.
