DESCRIPTION:
They have no idea what they are in for! Muuwhahahahaha! Ethan is an odd teen. He likes to count his steps between places and his social skills aren’t up to par. However, Ethan’s dad is a doctor. A group of kidnappers think they will get decent ransom money for Ethan. But Ethan has a secret, one that could kill.This is an interesting short story. At first, I wasn’t sure I would like the inner monologue as the primary mode of getting info to the readers, but I quickly fell into step with it and enjoyed it. Ethan is a bit naive, and he wants to believe his kidnappers when they say they don’t plan to ha. Dark, Twisted, Wicked Short Story. This is a short, hard hitting story about a boy who is kidnapped from school, who seems to be autistic or something, as gotten from his internal monologue. Instead, what he is is drugged into that state to stop his real personallity, that of a raging Psychopath, from emerging through his other personality, that of his twin sister Emily. Deliciously twisted, it takes a bit to figure out exactly what he is, but when you do, its like a brick to the head it hits so hard. Great plot, wicked action, all told from an internal monologue of the main character, Ethan. Sometimes. Creepy and engaging short story Leslie F. I really liked this short story. I would probably consider this a horror/suspense short story. It really grabbed me from the beginning and kept me wanting more. I listened to the audio version, and it was a little over an hour. The narration was good, though the voice for "Emily" had a quality that annoyed me a tiny bit, but other than that, it was great. This is my first story from R.K. Howard, and I am hooked. I definitely want to read more.
