“ Salsbury's haunting tale calls its audience out on its complacency and gives its young heroine incredible agency. It is poetry meeting reality, waiting for a final compromise. ”

“ This play sent shivers down my spine. So much history is densely packed into such a short amount of time, it’s hard to believe. Without even knowing the names of the characters I know so much about their history and the strife they’ve gone through.

An oddly poetic, yet uncomfortably real short play. I highly recommend checking it out. ”

“ Holy smokes (no pun intended). This may be the most magnificent dramatic ten minute play I've ever read. Absolutely chilling, incredibly economical, a masterpiece in saying a lot with a little. Every question I had was answered as I read, and my reviewers below are not kidding, the last line is nothing but sheer brilliance. This play needs to be performed a lot and would be a smash-hit at competitions. It's only a matter of time before this fantastic play is discovered and given the attention it deserves. Wow. ”

“ As the smoke clears, and glowing embers begin to fade, there is devastating destruction left behind that must be reckoned with between a fire marshal and a young girl. But it’s quickly evident that the fire isn’t the only source of trauma in this tale. It’s achingly raw, conjuring that unsettling, familiar, stomach-sickening feeling of dread. We know what happened, yet the girl surprises us in so many other ways. Beautifully written. I’m still marveling at the title. ”
