As reality around her begins to reveal its dark, warped nature, Tess becomes a victim of her own deception. The only way is to continue until the end and to confront the shadow side, whatever the cost.

I love a good thriller and I don't think either of these stories will disappoint me!
ReplyDeleteIf the short story is well-written, they are like little nuggets of gold. Short thrillers pack a lot into just a few words, and takes some real talent! Jonel's review has sold me on this!
