Ratings and reviews

This is amazing. The voice actor did such an amazing job. I have never heard of this short story but it is so amazing. The ending has to be the best part by far.

Not quite my kind of story, but 5 stars for it being free and having a great reader.

The voice actor was quite exceptional. The story was really good.
