I have read a lot of Joshua Scribner's short stories, and have enjoyed many of them.  In previous reviews, I have said he must have a sick and twisted mind which for a horror writer is a good thing as it keeps your content fresh.  Morbid-sounding, I agree; if you think about it for a while, you will find it is the right context.This story is not a horror story per se, but it does have some of the elements as well as shadings of Stephen King.  What I like about Scribner's stories is he doesn't waste any time and gets you involved fast in the underlying story - he gets to the point, tells the tale, and brings home the conclusion. If you are looking for a good 10 minute read during your lunch break at work as I was, this one should fit the bill.  I'm looking forward to reading more from Scribner.
