Pieces, Mark Tompkins
(My review)
This story will definitely keep you wanting to read until you are finished. Great detail, as always with Mark Tompkins thrillers/horrors. Well written. Great short story that most can relate to, the fear of rats. Austin is a great character. Definitely recommended.
