Roses Are Red consists of three short stories. Green's writing style is unique in that it grabbed me without trying. I found myself thinking I knew what was to happen next only to be twisted in a different direction.I found Allan in "A Long Distance Relationship" to be as creepy as a human can be and still be human. His utter distain and lack of sympathy for the human condition is disturbing to say the least. It made me think of the psychopaths in our world and how our society actually has people like him walking around free as a bird.The Lucky Human was my favorite of the three. The author successfully creates a futuristic world in just a few pages. I thought my wife was clingy! I'll take her over a "mind-sucking" lonely computer any day. I will leave it at that.And finally Cash Only. I found an odd sympathy for Maria. Green's style of writing stirred something up inside me. I can't say Gene the main lead was as sympathetic.I look forward to more from Carrie Green.
