Snuffed Out

Sarah and Katie are best friends and live basic lives. Until one night, an unfortunate tragedy reveals that their lives are anything but ordinary. Their world is turned upside down and it is up to Sarah to shine light on what has happened—as she steps further—Into the Black.

Into The Black by Simeon Gregory is a flash fiction story about demon preying on the dying. The timeline is a little sloppy and there's zero depth to any of the characters. The idea is interesting, but Gregory rushed through this and failed to deliver any real horror.

I've read a few other short stories by the author, and I think this is the worst one. I wish Gregory would write more stories like Cinema 9 or Wooden Nickel.

As always,
