I liked the premise of this story and thought Mr. Grover had a killer cover and title...but I felt the author rushed the story a bit. I realize brevity is the hallmark of short fiction but in this case it would have suited the overall tone and structure if Mr. Grover had perhaps taken the time to flesh out his characters a bit more. The response of the characters to the supernatural occurences seemed a bit superficial to me.Grammar and syntax was a bit problematic in places and unfortunately drew my attention away from the story.That being said the short form is probably the most difficult of fiction. Short story writers have a daunting task: to present a plot and story line in as concise a way as possible, culling extraneous information without destroying the integrity of the story.I did like the overall idea and am curious to see how Mr. Grover comes across in longer works of dark fiction.
