About the author

Randy Dean Noble is a supernatural thriller kind of guy. He grew up on a slew of movies and books, those of the fantastical variety inspiring most of his writing interests.

Working a plethora of minimum wage jobs took Randy into computer science and a career in IT (because he didn't want to eat PB&J the rest of his life). But, his passion has always been writing, and his dream is to be a full-time fiction author.

When he's not working his day job in IT, and not watching some new show on the ridiculous amount of streamers out there, he's writing.

I did not get this story at all. I have no clue who this character was, how call time travel was possible, or why this man hated everyone. It was confusing at best and quick, unsatisfactory read.

Probably ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 if I could do that. Fast-paced, easy-to-read. Was expecting the creatures to be more ominous/creepier, though, and would have liked some sort of indication of what they did next at the end (instead of the narrator simply saying they were someone else’s problem). Also, what was up with the time travel/phone call to his past self? That was dropped with no real tie-in to the bridge/creatures. But again, it was not bad.

Another free short story I've had on my Kindle. I think I'd ike it better if it was a regular book and didn't end so abruptly.

Quick

A quick little story. It took .e about 15 minutes to read. A It just wasn't my type of read.

Nathan lives in a fortress with elaborate security. He thinks someone is breaking in his house, so he runs outside and gets a call. Who is the caller? What's going on? How did anyone get inside? This is more psychological thriller than horror. From beginning to a great ending, everything is there. Nathan's history, his job, and his current situation. Over the Bridge is a very entertaining read.

Really too short to connect with the main character, and the hows and whys are left hanging in the void with absolutely no explanation whatsoever. And the open ending was a tad annoying. Maybe I'm getting too cynical, but an open ending usually means sequel hook, and maybe that wasn't the author's intent, but it was still annoying.

What a waste of space on my Kindle. Off to the cloud you go!

An open ending, charming.

Once again, short stories are not my thing. I just don't think this one had much of a point or resolution to it.

Started out good. I would be willing to read something else from Noble.

What was this? A bad dream?
