Twine is an attention grabbing short story that leaves you wondering if it is about a nightmare. or that John is going crazy. The story is well written and grabs our attention from the first line. The characters are believable in a macabre sort of way.John has a crippling personality disorder that leads him to avoid people. When dealing with people in his job gets to be much, he cops an attitude as his attempt at dealing fails. He sees nothing wrong with this it seems. Then one day he meets the beautiful Jillian and things change. he has a reason for living and she is definitely that reason. She makes him smile, laugh and gives him more self confidence than he has ever had. Than one day, after weeks of meeting for lunch, she disappears. Now I mean she just vanishes off of the planet. Nobody remembers seeing her or anything.He speaks to an older man who he has befriended and this man tells John what he thinks she is. She is a witch. John then knows she is the lady in his nightmares.This is indeed a short story, but it does comprise far more than I have written here. It is well worth the read.
