Summary: A potent scary short story
Review: This story is entertaining, intelligent, and tinged with the supernatural. The plot is very simple, but Lawrence's imagery and style hooked me. Neurovisually, I was imagining the house from the movie "The Others" and a composite of the young boys from that movie and "The Shining." The character of Paul is likeable, and his interaction with the other main characters in the story is gripping. The story is a short read, but it's worth your time if you like spooky settings for allegorical tales of the supernatural.

Summary: A poetic Injustice
Review: This story is one of tragedy, and loss. A boy doing anything to gain his mothers approval in one way or another. As some would say it revolves around lust, but those are the few whom...nevermind. This would be a very complex story for almost everyone on a mature level. Though some score this story pretty low I give it a 5 out of 5. So if I were you (but i'm not) I would pick this story up and analyze it for all its worth I swear you will see everything in a new light and feel what so many others do.
