Often all short fiction needs to capture is a turning point. We don’t need to know “why” or even all of “what.” We just need to know “WHAT NOW” and imagination fills the blanks.
Prillaman provides a cavalcade of turning points! Our heroines are relentlessly active – even when one is paralyzed, she’s still fighting. The atmosphere created by costumes and sound (and one prop...) grounds the piece in a terror that seems as casual as it is inescapable. What’s happening offstage is infinitely more horrifying than what’s happening onstage... until it isn’t.
A masterpiece!
