Summary

We thought we'd play a fun prank on her, and now most of us are dead.

One last laugh for the summer as it winds down. One last prank just to scare a friend. Bringing a mannequin into a theater is just some harmless fun, right? Until it wakes up. Until is starts killing.

Luckily, Sawyer has a plan. He'll be a hero. He'll save everyone to the best of his ability. He'll kill as many people as he needs to so he can save the day. That's the thing about heroes - sometimes you have to become a monster first.

1st of all. Excellent narrator. Story seems to divide opinions. Sick logic is anyway logic. Writing is good, immersing. Has bit 'magical realism' which may not be to everyone's liking. Neither is the mind mapping propably. I liked this one quite a bit. Not all monsters hide in the attick or dwell in the dark woods.

Ideal choice of narrator, he conveyed the mood of the protagonist perfectly. The story quickly took an unexpected direction, which I loved. It's impossible to be more specific without spoiling the surprise.

Creepy and original

When a prank goes wrong, Sawyer has to do everything he can to make things right. But can he really be the hero? An interesting short story that was nothing like I expected! The narrator also did a very good job.

Beautifully written short story. Unfortunately, I don't have the book, so I'm glad it was available for free listening on Audible. Grim, dark and psychological horror in a short time. It's very gripping, and when I get the chance, I will buy the physical book and give it a read again. I definitely recommend this book if you like dark psychological short stories.
