Short and sweet

I was looking for a horror short story and this came up. It is short and has several good aspects. The main characters were built enough, scenario was realistic but not cliche, and the end had a few unexpected things. I enjoyed it.

Quick, suspenseful read!

A great novella with lots of detail. I read this in about an hour and literally couldn't stop. It was excitement from the 3rd page or so until the end. And a nice little twist at the end. Mr. Estrada definitely captured my attention...thank you!
