This is a short story about paranoia, the paranormal, and mental illness.  Tamara lives in total terror with her daughter Veronica.  Her ex-husband Joe has left her because he couldn't stand her obsessiveness anymore but he does provide her with an extreme alarm and video monitoring system for her entire house and yard.  Tamara keeps her daughter tied to bed and locked up so she cannot get hurt and when they go out, Tamara keeps Veronica on a leash...literally a leash like a dog.  Veronica has an imagininary friend that keeps getting her into trouble and Tamara is scared for her.  On a outing, Tamara notices a man who she thinks is watching her.  She then thinks she sees him walking constantly outside of her house.  She cannot figure out how she knows this man but when she does it left me with a shiver of fear as I read the last paragraph.For a Kindle freebie, this was another great one.  I love short stories that I can finish in 15 minutes but keep me thinking about it long after I read it.  I think that is what makes a good short story.  If an author can pull out the readers' emotions in very few pages because of a tight neat plotline that keeps you wondering about it afterwards then that is a stunning feat!  Grab this book for yourself and give it a try!  It's short and will definitely creep you out!  4 stars!
