I didn't feel bad for any of the character's that were harmed in this story. They had it coming to them considering how they treated the male lead; twelve year old Jacob.It's hard to discern whether or not the "monster" Jacob saw was a mental manifestation of the abuse he suffered or if the monster was indeed real in a physical sense.I suppose the important message here is that we as a society play a part in the monsters that live with us. This was well written, compelling, gritty, and dark short that showcases Cook's incredible talent with words. Highly recommend.
