Very brief - it's barely a five-minute read - but has a clever gimmick, a new take on the afterlife. Enjoyable, though it could have been about three times of long and still be considered extremely short, and make just as much, or more, impact. There's barely time to care about the protagonists before the surprise comes.
Even though it's a very short story, it still has a good plot. And it left off on a cliff hanger so I can't wait to see what comes next!
Scribner, the master of the short story does it again with Vacancy: A Flash Fiction Story. Thought provoking, interesting, and pulls the reader into his imaginative world that slowly unfolds as you read. Scribner's stories are able to quickly open your mind to a broader world and what he doesn't say, expands the story in your mind in thought provoking ways.
