Short But Great!

I don't think I've ever read a story this short and loved it so much. I'm not a short story guy, but this one not only tells a story, has a great character, but it also leaves you with an ending that will have you smiling!

John is a new author for me, but I can't wait to dig into more of his stories! I highly recommend giving this a read!

Awesome adventure

A great short story! The action is fast and right on, and you care about the characters right from the start. You can fee their emotions. Great story, I’ll be getting the next ones!

Good start to something great!

Patterson kept me turning the pages right from the start. Great descriptions and character development in it's 10 pages. Will be reading the next one soon!

2 1/2 stars.

A sci-fi short story that deals with an important theological question. It doesn't answer it, which is fine, it just explores how it affects the two characters.
