"A shadow takes shape through the blinding white that surrounds me. I blink, but my vision is slow to clear. What is going on? The shadow figure is moving toward me. I blink again, and am relieved to see the familiar shape of you."
A short story, "Control" follows the changing dynamic of a relationship over time. Masterfully woven to immerse the reader, "Control" speaks of both hope and courage amidst depression and despair.
This short story pulled me right in. I loved how much it messed with my head. I felt so much for the character and thought I knew at first what was happening but by the end it meant something completely different to me. You should read this little masterpiece to see how you interpret the inner workings of the author's mind.
This story felt like a blend of sci-fi and psychological thriller. Visually and emotional rich. Beautiful and poignant. An open ending left me pondering who the main characters were, their relationship and what will happen next.
