No Action, No Horror

Dr. Lawrence Cornwell is trapped in a blue velvet chair. The past and future spiral around him as he struggles against his deep sickness for a solution.

This is his final battle, and he has everything to lose.


The Darkness That Swallows Time by Tommy B. Smith is a short story about a character from another story, so maybe it's necessary to read one before the other to grasp the full effect. Unfortunately, as a stand-alone, this short doesn't have much to offer. There is no action, no horror, just a man dying of illness.

Perhaps, if this story had not been listed under horror on Amazon, I would have had entirely different expectations, and maybe then I would not be so disappointed.

As always,
AstraDaemon
