review 1: I like that this group of friends has gotten together for years and plotted the demise of the world. I find it really creepy that one of the friends has taken what they learned and put it into place through working for the government. Part of me admires Cole, it took balls to let your friends in on things, part of me hates her for telling them, because I know if it was me, I would rather not know that they world was going to end and I wouldn't want to survive it.
review 2: A great take on the popular topic, a "Masque of the Red Death" where a friend wears the mask. A great read, this exemplifies why short fiction is often the best fiction. Setup, climax and conclusion come in rapid, but clear, and characters are sketched in just enough to give the imagination
... more a hook, and the story what it needs. Ending is punchy and not overdone, but a fabulous full stop on a great sentence. less
