Review: One Final Night
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 10 20, 2011
This is a short story that is well-written but is very sad.  The married couple, Mel and Paul, have hit the lowest point in their marriage and try to talk things out the night after Paul tells Mel that he has put in a bid on the house that she wants that they couldn't afford before.  She has been hiding some things from Paul, as he has hidden a few secrets from Mel.As the story progresses it seems to get darker and darker in tone and the ending is quite surprising.  I didn't expect it to be what it is.  I found it to be very depressing and not hopeful at all.  That is not to say that the story isn't put together well, but I just can't find it within me to like it that much.  I thought the end was spooky.I gave it two stars just based on my own reaction to it, but I'm sure that others might see it entirely differently.
