AudibleFor a short story it was quite creepy I loved the suspense Lanyon manages to keep readers on their toes even within 37 pages Impressive The narrator is excellent too 4 starsThis was short but really very good, andthan a little creepy.For what is on the surface a very simple Stand by Me Wrong Turn mashup this is a short story that really captured me Tim is so fractured, and is beyond Luke s ability to put him back together There is no HEA, not even an HFN, but perhaps a promise for some happy one day in the future.
