The writing was decent. I think the story had some potential. However, the actual execution was lacking. There was weird background info that made no difference to the entire story. The story was going places and then just ended.

I hated it so much. It felt like a chore to read. Heidi was an irrelevant character. Who gives a sh*t about her love life with her roommate? This might have been better if it had less than 10 pages and only Jimmy's retelling.

It was DNF from the first page honestly! It was going to much detail instead of a stead plot! I didn’t feel like it worked at all.

Part of the Creature Feature Halloween Collection. A good short story that I would like to see fleshed out more.
