Well this is not a romance, But an unusual story that it is. A killer kills and thats what he does and i hoped for a better way for this to end but this was not the way. Wonder what happened things left unanswered

A very short and unusual story. The ending quite unexpected. Wish it was longer. I would love to know more about Timothy. Did he continue murdering people? Did he get caught and hanged or live a long murderous life? Did he find the love of his life that made him stop killing and they live HEA?

I thought this was a romance but it's more of a horror story I guess. It was very short but the writing was good.

For such a short story - just a handful of pages - it packed one helluva punch. Very, very creepy. But I so hoped it wouldn't end the way it did...

Short but thrilling, I wish it a bit longer and ended different way.

I thought this was a romance which is why I picked it up but when I realized it wasn't, I kept reading because I loved the writing. Wow. Really interesting story.
