I enjoyed this one. Being lost, alone, and pursued are all fears that I imagine most people have on some level. I would usually think that the setup with the evil clown ringleader was kind of silly, but I think it worked in this piece.

I liked the pacing here, Things were descriptive, but not overly so, and the story moved at a pretty consistent pace that kept the excitement level up. Although I tend to like stories that are paced a bit more slowly, this one never felt jumpy or rushed to me.

The grammar, spelling, clarity, and format were all in good shape. I didn't notice any errors that were really too distracting. I like the style as well. Although we don;t get to know the narrator or his lady friend too well, I could glean enough from the narrative that I felt both were pretty relatable.

Coming into this, I was unfamiliar with the source material, but the pasta still worked. I don't tend to like mindf*ck pastas, as many of them hinge themselves on one big reveal, and here, I felt like the final line was a little silly, bordering on forced. But I'm not sure how else the reveal could have ben done. However,  I think that this one works whether the reader gets the twist ending or not, everything up to that point has still been enjoyable.

So I found this one quite enjoyable. It's simple, but not dumb, and the length and pace are such that I felt compelled to continue reading to the end. I can see how some folks might think this has a kind of anti-climax, but that didn;t bug me. I'm glad I gave this one a read :)
