This is one of the best short stories I've ever read!
There's a creepy, tense feeling to it from the start. I scored the way that little bits of information are thoughtfully pieced together throughout.
Both mcs were easy to empathise with and route for. Despite the short length, it felt like both characters were well rounded and their backstories didn't seem to need more than the few pages they were given. Sometimes I like to use my imagination to fill in the blanks and this was definitely a good example of that kind of story.
