    A compact, fast moving and mesmerizing short story. You'll be hooked right from the first sentence and race, along with the main character, all the way thru to find out what exactly she's going through. Very well written, descriptions that flow like music and imagery that you can't help but feel is being painted live before your eyes. My only critique revolves around the line... read

    Thanks for the review, Alan. I will read through the line in question and think through a revision. The story was originally put together as an idea to help out a friend into making short films, but I later put it to paper designed for a short-short contest of 1500 words or less.

    Regardless, I appreciate the input and will look over revising it. Unfortunately, the posting format here doesn't really allow for revisions on the fly - must re-post the story to make revisions - but if I do submit the thing to one of the contests, I'll have gone over several of the small items in question.

    Off hand, of the more immediate concern is if you considered the "- there was no blood" such a sledge hammer of a clue as to bludgeon the twist before you reached the end.

    Thanks again and good luck!
