Short stories seem easy to write, since they are short. Not so. Sometimes I find it’s easier to write a novel instead of a short story since you have more time to flesh it out. On too many occasions, authors don’t get it right. The plot can feel unfinished, characters might be flat, description severely lacking, or it could be all of these or a combination.Transfection shows writers how it can be done. Mr. Gaughran show his skill and understanding of how to write not just short stories, but how to write in general. I read his story in one sitting and considering its only 27 pages that isn’t all that impressive on my part. What was impressive was how quickly the author pulled me into the story and held my attention to the last word. I felt the suspense and got to know the main character.My one regret was that the ending seemed rushed. However, I have a feeling this was done intentionally by the author. Sometimes in life, things just end too quickly.
