&quot;One word. All you&#039;ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn&#039;t wonder. I&#039;m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won&#039;t deny any of what you said. But there&#039;s one thing more to be said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things - trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that&#039;s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We&#039;re just babies making up a game, if you&#039;re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That&#039;s why I&#039;m going to stand by the play world. I&#039;m on Aslan&#039;s side even if there isn&#039;t any Aslan to lead it. I&#039;m going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn&#039;t any Narnia.&quot; <br /> <br /> in The Silver Chair, by C. S. Lewis

&quot;Books are a uniquely portable magic.&quot; - Stephen King<br /> <br /> I love books, and I love technology, but I don&#039;t want to see the latter overwhelm the former. I just think books are meant to be pages you turn, not screens you scroll through.

This was a pretty good read! I personally think that the narrator should've had more of a personality; he seems like his only purpose is to tell the story, and it would be interesting to know more about him. But that's really the story's only big flaw in my opinion (aside from occasional grammar issues, but those are typical of pretty much all writers); everything else was good! The pacing was good, the story was absorbing and mysterious, and the twist at the end was really cool! Overall, a very engaging read; again, it could have had a little more personality, but the eeriness and mystery surrounding the story definitely make up for that! Nice work!

Deliciously creepy!  I really like the story here, and the way you write makes it easy and enjoyable to read.  Some of the action (like the prisoner punching the guard in the jaw) felt a little slow, but the story itself was just the right pace.  The ending is great :)
