Review: Good idea but too short and lacking depth

I generally enjoy these solo stories, but after a while they get to be repetitive. Carol Davis's "They Kill" is a new and original take on the Wooliverse. I loved the "thriller" aspect. In a way it made me think of Ridley Scott's first "Alien" movie with a small group of people trapped on a spaceship (or silo in this case) where they are stalked and slowly picked off by some sort of alien monster. However, the story did not seem fully developed. I felt that just as soon as a new character was introduced, their storyline was dropped and we were on to the next. Overall I just did not find this short story satisfying. If the author took the general idea and just fleshed it out a little bit more, I think I would have loved it.
