An unexpected road trip to a deserted desert ghost town proves to be much more than a fun outing.The owner of an isolated hostel receives his first guest of the season. The hitchhiker arrives late at night, but the pair soon bond. The exciting and beautiful young woman wins over the man, and the pair embark on a journey into the high desert on the far side of the mountain range. What awaits is an opportunity Molly has prepared for her entire life. This is the first short story in the 'TWO' compilation.
This story is somewhat predictable, but not bad. However, McBryde seems to have no editing team and he badly needs one as he makes frequent spelling and grammatical errors that make his stories a pain to read.
The worst part is that some of his errors could be avoided if he used some of the editing software freely available online and that can only mean he’s either too lazy to care, or he simply doesn’t care at all about his readers.
I love horror stories, some thriller is always good to read as well. Molly is a great short story, entertaining and it has an interesting ending. What bothers me a lot about it are the plenty of spelling and grammatical errors. It is painful to see how someone confuses "than" with "then" so much, or even worse "well" with "we'll" I can't understand these errors, and being this the second story I read from Mr. McBryde I already know he is making these mistakes all the time. Without these grammatical horrors, the stories he writes would be awesome to read and would get the 5-star rating from me
A good premise. I found it a bit long winded for how it ended. It had a good build up, so I was quite surprised when it ended. I would have liked to see a bit more of an ending. I felt short changed.
