Such an easy short story to read, a good concept for a story.
Em is supposed to be going away for the weekend with her friends, but her boss Andrew has said that he doesn’t think he can spare her a week before they go. She sends a text to her boyfriend Stu where her phone autocorrects does to dies, although she discovers that she didn’t send it to her boyfriend at all… she sent it to her three friends at work. Unexpectedly, the next day it turns out that Andrew was in fact murdered and because of the text she sent, Em is a suspect to the police. Until En receives a note saying that she wanted him dead and so her wish was granted, which makes her suspect the three friends that she sent the text to.
This story did have me guessing the whole way through as to who had actually murdered Andrew and the ending was quite satisfactory. It was tense enough to keep me reading but short enough that I could read it in one sitting.
