Trapped

by Jonas Saul

Melissa Walkens, at a roadside café late at night, witnesses two men using sign language to discuss the robbery they are about to commit.

The only other patrons are a mother and her child. Melissa had stopped for coffee and directions, but now, as violence is about to erupt, terror sets in. She needs to warn the woman to get her daughter to safety. But she can't. She needs to call the police. But she can't.

Melissa Walkens is trapped. What she doesn't know is that the men are there for her. She is about to become the victim of the ultimate betrayal. And there's nothing she can do but fight back as people start to die around her.

[Carolyn Injoy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Trapped by Jonas Saul is a short story worthy of five stars. Melissa Layton is trapped. It's a compelling tale of betrayal that has a surprise ending.

I received a complimentary copy in an Amazon promotion. This did not change my opinion for this review.

Short story....interesting....wish there was more

[Jennifer Whitehurst · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was way too short & felt rushed. I think the elements of a good story are there but the execution could have been better.

[Dave · Rating 1 out of 5]

I cannot believe that I wasted my time reading this. The plot is so contrived and improbable. It is not really worth 1 star.
