Sometimes a story unfolds in ways you never expected. I can say, for sure, this one caught me by surprise. Once the twist, which happens early on, occurs things pick up like crazy. And there's no real good or bad here but Alot of grey that makes you question Alot of things.

Only negative I can think of are small errors and the pacing felt bit rushed at the end. Still, as far as first short stories come, this author proves he has some neat things lined up if ye continues as strong as he started.
