the setup…
Elena Sullivan is spending a quiet evening at home with her husband and teenage son. They tune into a new crime drama on TV an as the show progresses, Elena is shocked to see parallels of the show to a horrible event in her life from fifteen years ago. Only one other person knows about it so how are all the relevant details appearing on this show?
the heart of the show…
Elena is clear she’s never talked about what happened to anyone so that leaves her partner in crime. I felt her anxiety from the moment she realized her life was playing out on screen. Of course there’s a twist coming but I still got surprised.
the narration…
Heather O’Sullivan was great with the voice distinctions and the storytelling. And, she delivered that twist perfectly.
the bottom line…
I felt like the proverbial fish on a hook with this clever tale, right up until the end when I realized I’d been…well, you’ll have to read it for yourself. This is how you craft a short story. Deadly ambition indeed.
