This got off to a gruesome and harrowing start, and kept up the tension + suspense from the get go, despite being only 49 pages or a 01:16 listen. The full cast narration was brilliant, the dark undertone + war background focus was intriguing + the epilogue satisfyingly tied everything up. As a side note: hats off the author who made me hate basically every character in under a hundred pages because that’s a feat lol.

A Short story full of mystery and murder.  Family inheritance causes problems between two brothers who find themselves skydiving in order to scatter their father's ashes as he requested. This results in a death but with a twist in the plot.  I enjoyed this one.
