Diabeetus

THE ICE CREAM MAN by Ben Larracey is a flash fiction piece which incorrectly claims to be in the vein of Stephen King. I disagree. Much space is wasted, emphasizing how fat Little Billy is, as well as how bad his eating habits are.

The Ice Cream Man is a meager part of the story, when the author could have done more with the character. I am really disappointed with the abrupt ending.

Larracey's story had potential, but it's now rotting in a basement.

As always,
