I apologize to the writer of this story but a review is worthless if not honest. Fortunately I don't need to go through all the faults of the narrative as "Brother Ken" has done a fairly complete job. Read his review before you spend a penny on the ridiculous price attached to this 'short story.' This was gifted to me by the writer which makes me feel even worse to have to say that her writing is sophomoric at best, tedious at the least. Fiction writing classes might help her to learn the most basic techniques of the art and craft of writing. And "Brother Ken" nailed it when he commented on the opening sentence. That was sufficient to warn even a not-very-sophisticated reader that the writing ahead was going to be grim.  Those who have reviewed at three and four stars must either be friends, family or easily pleased. And P.S., the attempt at black dialog is horrific.
