It has been a long time since I have read a story written in second person, and I will be honest and say that I was initially put off by this. However, it did not take long for the author to have me imaging that I was the main character, fully engaged in the story and anticipating what was to come. An enjoyable short story.

This was a great short story. The descriptions weren't too complex but at the same time they weren't the usual - I guess unique and intriguing is the best way to explain what I mean. There is a lot of mystery in the pages... At first there was just an unfamiliar captive, but I quickly got sucked into the story and found myself reading faster and faster as I became more invested in their outcome and eagerly sought out what happened next!
