What attracted me to this short story by Serenity Woods is the location as I also love Lindisfarne and although I've never been stuck in a box with a Scotman whilst visiting the island it sounds like an intriguing idea! Unlike many short stories this one is worth reading and what it lacks in page numbers it makes up for in content. The author manages to build the characters and give a synopsis of their history together in the way a full length novel would but doesn't get bogged down in details and at the same time she builds tension between the two character in a way which makes you eager to know what happens next.I'm a huge fan of short stories because I'm often too busy to sit down to a full length novel and for that short while I'm taken to another place. One of my favourite short stories isEternal Lovewhich is a foreign romance short story which captivates another culture and an exotic land.
