Missing Proper Ending | Flash Fiction Review | AstraDaemon

RED SCRIBBLE by JT Lawrence is a fantastic and tragic paranormal story, but the ending is too abrupt, even for a flash fiction piece.

This could've been the author's best work, if only the story continued a little longer.

Nuclear Revenge | Flash Fiction Review | AstraDaemon

LUCKY STRIKE by JT Lawrence is a flash fiction story which could've benefitted from a longer format. The narrator remains a mystery from beginning to end, with hints of multiple identities. We never really learn the true nature of her relationship. The only thing which is obvious is how determined she is to get revenge for what she considers an offense, but there's no telling if she is truthful to even herself.

Hunger Pang | Short Story Review | AstraDaemon

THE CHILDREN IN THE WALLS by JT Lawrence is a dark short story. I had an idea what the author had planned, but the ending still gut-punched me.

It's been a few years since I've read anything by this author, but Lawrence still has a talent for blending suspense and personal drama.

Feeling Wrecked

A mother becomes suspicious of her daughter’s preschool teacher.

Is Teacher Dalton who she appears to be, or is something more sinister afoot?


Astrid by JT Lawrence is an excellent short story drama about mother who starts to question everything about her daughter's preschool. I knew the author had something painful in store for readers when the husband also seems distraught, but the ending still caught me off guard.

I recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a good suspense-drama.
