I read short stories often.  When reading a short story I expect to be left with one big emotion at the end.  Unfortunately, while I enjoyed reading the story, the emotion I was left after this story was "huh? and?".The story begins with Jackson Starling forcing Demetri's sister to have sex with him if Demetri wanted the return of his iPad.  But something happens in Sooster's Pumpkin Patch that brings in the FBI.  This first section of the story is tightly written and quite thrilling to read.Then the FBI arrive.  While the rest of the story is supposed to let you know how, why and what happened in that field, it instead creates more questions that are left unanswered.The story is told in a well written straight forward manner.  Parts of the mystery of Sooster's Pumpkin Patch is revealed bit by bit. Yet I was left with a bit let down at the end of the story.  It was neither a horrific ending nor a hero saves the day ending and as stated above it left too many unanswered questions.
