It does however suffer from one of my pet peeves in e-books and that's padding with the author's other content. The short story ends at 80% and then there's a chapter for another book. A shout out, or a link is fine, but a fifth of the content devoted to another book is a bit much.
That aside this is a decent short story and you feel for the characters as the plot progresses. With more development it could have been a great story.

Hey man,
ReplyDeleteI really liked this great and thorough review of my short story. I hope it's okay I'm reaching out to you.The reason I am is because I have just released a novel on Amazon and was wondering if you'd be willing to review it. I would gift you a copy, of course. If you are interested, you can contact me at cgalacar@gmail.com. Thanks for any consideration you give this.
I don't do review requests as my TBR is very long, however post a link here when it's out and I'll take a look and buy it if it look slike my type of read.
