I didn't find anything captivating in this story, it had nothing to do with horror. There were too many unnecessary baseball details. Overall, a waste of time.

This was a great short story. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it because it mentions the pandemic, and I don't like books with modern references because I am trying to read to forget.  However, the book ended up being really great and I wish it had been longer!
