Nonsensical story.

it may not be a perfect horror story, but i believe it deserves more credit than other reviewers have given it. it effectively creates a sense of dread, as you know there's no way this could possibly end well. mr. foxworth's promises are simply too good to be true.
although it takes a re-read or two to fully get the story, i don't consider this a fault, seeing as it's a short story (only 25 pages on the e-reader app i started using on my phone in order to give e-books a spin.)
all in all, i'd say the author shows promise. her story has originality and a strange sort of perspective that i find actually pretty compelling. would i recommend this story? not particularly, unless you're really interested in the genre and setting. but i don't think it's a bad idea at all to keep up with the author.

What???
A quick read. I think I might have missed the point. I didn't see where the beginning had anything to do with the end of the story. I didn't understand the end either. Maybe my brain stopped working.

Supposedly a "horror" story. Really "rain" was just a mess. A beginning that didn't really go along with the rest of the story. Bland writing. Gore for the sake of gore. Just an all around mess of a "story"

This was a very dark short story about orphans and their so called benefactor trying to get them to new families...Horror story, but I really didn't understand it, or enjoy it.
