I appreciate that it was a shorter story, because I wanted the story to be over. That, in and of itself may or may not be a bad thing. I don't think that the author tied the story together well, and as a result the ending falls flat, as do the characters within the story.

Also, the narration was not horrible. However, this was a fairly decent tale up until the very end- I thought it to be -not so good -to put it lightly. It seemed as though the author ran out of material and like most "horror films" in this era - possessed a cliche ending that was rushed and derivative. I've heard worse and I've heard better.

Within six and half minutes, I heard "...made you feel useless, but also <b>dissolved</b> you of responsibility..." and became dismayed. Of course, the correct word is <b>absolved</b> and not <b>dissolved</b>. I thought, "Oh great! Another semi-literate trying to write!" I'm happy to report that, despite that initial glaring error, R.L. Burt partially redeemed himself shortly. While there are painful grammatical errors (no doubt caused, in part, by a modern public education), there is much to recommend this story. It rests on an interesting premise/story-line and engaging characters. Sound quality is consistent and good, narration is more than adequate and the pacing is easily good enough to maintain the listener's attention. On the whole, I am recommending this one. I give it a 7.5 so far, and hope that it surpasses that score. -Bear I had serious doubts about this podiobook upon my initial investigation.
