Original Review at Jaunts & Haunts
3.5/5
I gave this short story three and a half stars.
In a nutshell, this story is about a young girl named Lindsey who experiences terrifying sounds and scrapes against the wall of her bedroom at night. Over the years she wonders if the presence is a demon or just a nightmare until one night things take a sudden dark turn.
Overall, I was pleased with this short story.
The concept worked very well for me. Creepy scratchings on your bedroom wall? Holy moly, talk about scary! The main character's reactions to the creepy happenings at night made total sense to me.
I do wish that we would've got to know the main character a bit better. The story takes place over a number of years, and by the end I felt like I still didn't know her very well. I also wondered why the MC's mom never really got involved the entire time.
The plot was super simple and entertaining, but I did find myself wanting a bit more substance out of the story. That being said, I have to say that the ending was quite a surprise to me, and I really enjoyed the twist.
Overall, while this wasn't a perfect story, it was a nice break from my current read and worth a shot if you have thirty minutes or so to spare.
