Review: The story showed some tension, but needed us to know the characters more to care about them.

The story held my attention to the tension and problems of facing an unknown horror by two young brothers named Murphy and Rory Caulfield. They eventually meet some other people who end up together in the story. Some details were missing on some of the characters being out there, which could have explained, how they managed to meet as a group and us caring more about their welfare. They are facing a powerful evil. The two young brothers with a handyman named Flaherty, an elderly couple and a teenage girl named Calista, along with another eight year old boy in the back of Flaherty's truck. All of this terror adventure occured in the country close to Coombs, Virginia. The story is short, and they all have to face evil terrors, which are wiping out everyone they face. The story is a stand alone short story based off a main book entitled Day Zero the author wrote last year. The main elements of the story are fine. It does entice you to check out his main novel to perhaps learn more about what this author has created. It's intriguing in its own way, and for a short story the conflict is scary enough here to wish for more conflict.
