      Brought to you by TeamNerd Reviewer Bridget Strahin must say, when I first read the synopsis of this story, I was excited even though it's well, a short story. In my opinion, short stories are hard to get into because the writer has very little pages to get you hooked in and for me, it never works out. However, Mr. Shosty had no problems with that.From page one all the way through the entire story, I was hooked. Mr. Shosty had a way with his words that had me flowing from page to page and before I knew it, I was at the end and disappointed. Disappointed because I wanted more.The story follows Dr. Trotter as he reminisces and tells his young protégé Thomas about past days of friendships and war. It is a moving tale of an old man with more days behind him then in front, who has many secrets to share with a young man who wants to one day follow in his footsteps. The only thing I have an issue with is the cover. It's a picture of a pentagram on a floating island and I'm not sure how it fits. I would recommend changing the cover so that the story isn't misleading. It really has nothing to do with the story.The story was well written and imaginative. I would recommend this quick read to anyone, no matter what genre they are used to reading.
