One of my favorite television programs of all time was the original "Twilight Zone."  I date myself but modern television viewers should catch the classic on "marathon" days to understand what you missed.  While reading Kathleen Patel's short story I almost heard Rod Serling's voice say, "When two beautiful young girls are offered a luxury vacation, they didn't know that..." Even now I hear the theme song in my head.I originally read this story a month ago and it was on my list to write a review.  When the writer said she hired a professional editor to help revise the manuscript, I asked to read the new copy.  The revised story reads much smoother than the original and accentuates an intriguing scenario.  The new organization of the piece flows from one scene to the next, the old guy and woman appear more sinister, and I loved the new ending!If porcelain dolls look creepy and you wonder why collectors pay high prices to buy them, this story will make you shudder.  Collectors might have an agenda you didn't know about.  I can't get the theme song of "Twilight Zone" out of my head but I just want to say, "Good job, Kathleen!"
