Review by: Cherese Vines on Dec. 10, 2012 : star star star
Flee by Alicia McCalla is a short story about Shania. Her grandmother has just died and she is dealing with a number of serious issues. One such issue is an alcoholic ex-boyfriend who quickly becomes a danger to Shania and her young daughter.
On the surface this could be a Lifetime movie about domestic violence and stalking, but there are supernatural elements that quickly come into play.
Reading this as a short story is like eating a caramel and trying to chew it, getting it stuck in your back teeth. There is so much going on in a few short pages it's difficult to wade through. The information the reader gets would not have been so overwhelming in a longer work. There is also a part that was gruesome and shocking. I realized too late that I should have read the tags under the description that state plainly what elements are in the story. I have learned my lesson. Read the tags.
I'm not sure what to think of this short work. But it truly sets the tone for a disturbing supernatural thriller.

This was a good read. I cant wait for the next installment. Nice to see authors delve into the African supernatural. I'm really excited to find out what's in Hotlanta!
