The immediacy of the short sentences heighten the desperation to escape and the tension in the chase. It is always satisfying to end a piece by circling back to the beginning. Masterful job of writing, Michele.

My favorite bit is, "He’s a monster. How could I believe he ever loved me?"

For me, it made the narrator instantly relatable and added so much depth that I wanted to read more!
