Note: This story was an entry into the latest edition of NYC fiction contest. This was written to a prescribed set of criteria, which I won’t outline here. Later in the week I will do a deeper dive in the results of this entry + analyse the feedback I received from the judges. This one has given me a lot of food for thought which is proof that these competitions are worth entering regardless of result.
Okay, I haven’t read the full story yet because I underestimated how much leisure time I had, but I will leave a more complete comment when I finish the story. I just got excited when I saw your opening note because I do NYC Midnight competitions as well! They’re so fun, and I’ve found them to be hugely helpful to my writing.
A very suspenseful story! I definitely didn’t see the twist coming. This reminded me a bit of The Prestige, especially with the surprise ending!

Good story., liked the suspense to the end.
Nice twist! The story certainly kept me guessing.
