This short fell flat for me. Just about the time a little tension was built, the author released it too quickly.
Thankfully, this experience is an anomaly for me with this author and I'll continue to read his works. Hey, they can't all be winners.
Some of my favorite short stories include Late Returns from [b:Full Throttle|42756795|Full Throttle|Joe Hill|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1554260453l/42756795._SY75_.jpg|66041568], Pop Art from [b:20th Century Ghosts|373915|20th Century Ghosts|Joe Hill|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388224829l/373915._SY75_.jpg|1049073] and F is for Farewell (A Sexy Sendoff) from [b:F is for Five Sapphic Tales|53187300|F is for Five Sapphic Tales|Donna Jay|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1587021738l/53187300._SY75_.jpg|80175784].

A quick introduction to Crouch’s work, albeit a tad predictable to readers familiar with his style.

In Crouch's Remaking, nothing is quite as it seems, especially in small communities. Mitchell has an eye for odd situations. A young boy sits in a small-town diner with a man purported to be his father, but something feels off. Mitchell follows them at a distance and soon approaches the boy and poses as a police officer, promising to help young Joe. When the boy obliges, worried that he might upset the authorities, Mitchell begins acting on a scene he's scripted for months. Unfortunately, Mitchell's story may not have a happy ending, at least for the entire case of players.
