Twenty-three-year-old Devon Owens receives an unexpected message from an online stranger. One curious reply takes on a sinister turn when Devon suddenly finds himself trapped in an inescapable nightmare of online terror.
I really enjoyed this unique story about a man named Devon Owens, who receives odd messages from his realtor, who he never hired or spoke to before. What starts out to be a harmless conversation online turns out to be a nightmare for Devon and his friends. Not only does the plot keep you engaged but it also makes you feel scared in your own house (which honestly, that is what I expect from a horror story).
Unfortunately, I did not connect with the characters too much, as they constantly addressed each other by first names in every conversation.
The ending happened fast and I wish it would have been drawn out a little more. It wasn't bad though.
The Author Daniel Ortiz, does an amazing job of crafting such a creepy short story! The imagery and detail, makes the reader feel as though they are also experiencing the same torment. Recommend for those who enjoy looking over their shoulders. This is a short story, so can be read in one sitting.
I wanted a short read but this felt like it went on and on for a lousy ending that didn't really make any sense. It also ended with a "to be continued" but I have no desire to do so.
