It was slow to get into, but it picked up the pace.
Great descriptions of the scenes and an amazing ending.

Mystery, tension, action... this short story checks all the boxes. Arguably slow-going (I would say the pacing is fine), this story feels very complete-- I'm not sure how to convey that.

Now, this was a nice doppelganger story. It reminded me of all the Vampire Diaries ( [b:Origins|7726143|Origins (The Vampire Diaries Stefan's Diaries, #1)|L.J. Smith|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1282055412l/7726143._SY75_.jpg|10489950]) saga mixed with some pepper sprayed touches of Schiller's [b:The Ghost-seer|987745|The Ghost-seer|Friedrich Schiller|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328728934l/987745._SY75_.jpg|2570051].
But this was more entertaining, somehow.
Maybe because it was short?
It also reminded me of Joyce` [b:A Potrait of the Artist As A Young Man|21951878|A Potrait of the Artist As A Young Man|James Joyce|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1397949296l/21951878._SY75_.jpg|3298883] in that he had that otherworldly depiction of the school. Well, the first school, because this character gets to row through three different schools. Talk about efforts in trying to escape a destiny.

The premise of this story was fascinating but it just didn’t work for me.

An older, and more poetic, version of Fight Club.
