A thinking person’s political parable – short and chilling – showing all-too-clearly the hazards of following political dogma without giving it even the most cursory discerning, intelligent thought.

Very well-written, though too short for me. I would have liked to have seen this story more developed. Perhaps the author may have plans to build on this idea – it certainly has merit, in my view. In this day and age, following doctrines sheep-like is an extravagance humanity simply can’t afford anymore.

Recommended.

Haunting and disturbing in a twisted kind of way.
This ebook is a short story that takes no time to read. It takes you quickly into a dark and twisted place that is entertaining in a morbid kind of way. I hate to believe there are parents actually out there like this, but I know there are, for whatever their selfish reasons, that is what I find so disturbing, Things like this happen.
