Review: It Was Just "OK" for Me

I've read many Joshua Scribner short stories, and have enjoyed most of them.  In previous reviews, I have said he must have a sick and twisted mind which for a horror writer is a good thing as it keeps your content fresh. Morbid-sounding, I agree; if you think about it for a while, you will find it is the right context. In my opinion, he has a lot of Stephen King in his writing of short stories.Without having a spoiler and tell you exactly what happens, I will say this one is a bit strange - at the end of the story, I audibly said "huh?"  I thought this one was a bit unrealistic, primarily due to the ending, as well as a little creepy.  With a lot of Scribner's stories, he can get you to project a little bit to reach an understanding of his story that makes you believe it, but I really couldn't get there on this one.This one took about 5-10 minutes to read during my lunch break at work.  As I type this review, it is being offered for free in the Kindle format so I would certainly say it is worth a shot, but if they start charging for it you should give this one a pass and focus on some of his other (and much better) works.
