Otro relato más de Wong, este en concreto es muy corto. Terror, giros de guion y una imaginación desbordante.

3.5/5. Interesting short story, loved the writing style, but liked the perspective a little less ^^;
I read it for free here.

Oh many. How does one person make such wonderful stories. I think this maybe one of my favorites of Alyssa Wong's stories now. I've read several but this one may have taken the cake. I'll need to sit on it and think about it. Wow.

Full of terror and longing, SCARECROW is a short story about boys at and after a funeral, slowly twisted by their guilt.

There is a breath, an intake of pure, cathartic bliss, and you wonder what sound you will make when you hit the ground because you cannot fly.
