As an English teacher, I love teaching with short stories, but I tend to find myself wanting when I encounter them as a reader. I would’ve liked to delve so much more into this story, but regardless of that, Keegan’s writing is solid and  I am anxious to see Cillian Murphy portray the protagonist in the upcoming film. I think he’ll be amazing.
