In the product descriptions for this short story, it says that "Itsy Bitsy" is "destined to become a modern classic."  To be quite blunt, I don't think "Itsy Bitsy" will ever be considered any type of classic, modern or otherwise.  Is that to say that nobody will enjoy this short download?  Absolutely not.  However, this is a very confusing and complex story that leaves the reader scratching his head just a few too many times.The basic premise of the story is that Frank is a "scandal photographer," intent on getting a picture of two celebrities kissing.  If he were only able to get this shot, he would be able to sell it for mega bucks to virtually any tabloid magazine or newspaper.  He has gone so far as to rent a tree in order to spy on this couple's pool in hopes of getting just one picture.  When several things seem to go wrong with his shoot, Frank begins to wonder if he is in fact losing his sanity.The beginning of the story was well developed and moved along very nicely at a perfect pace, but as the story reached its middle and ultimately its end...it just fell short.  The story is much too confusing, for one thing; I'm not even sure what type of genre the writing is supposed to be.  Was it meant to have supernatural elements?  Or was I misunderstanding some sort of psychological twist as a supernatural aspect?  The ending especially left me with more questions than answers, and I just didn't understand what the story was supposed to imply happened.While the technical writing details seemed to be mostly perfect, the story just didn't make much sense at all.  Some people may like the fact that the author provides no real explanation for the ending, but I definitely don't.  I can't recommend this download to most people; there are many much more intriguing stories to be found for the Kindle.WARNINGS - Sexual Scenarios, Mild Drug Reference, Mild Language
