Quick! Great! To the point!

Reviewed at: The Wonderous Wiley

I really like this little tale and the plot is great. The backstory is covered so you have an idea of our MC and his situation. I would of course like to read more and get other outlandish pieces of the Wonderous Wiley! But it is a short story and that is the name of the game.  The author did a great job with the execution of it. I have to admit the cover is what drew me to this at first. It is one of a kind on here.

The cover is a smash up of: MASK (Rocky Dennis) and SCANNERS in my mind!

Impressed and definately one of my favorite short stories on here so far.

Overall I think this story has a huge potential but it's just a bit too short. It sometimes feels rushed and there's too much telling instead of showing. The idea is brilliant, it just needs a more precise execution. I enjoy stories about the horrors of human mind and the ending was really surprising
