Usually I'm a fan of the shorter story which leads the reader to want more. Not so in this case since there isn't a resolution of any kind. In fact, it feels as if the conflict is about to be introduced instead of it just being resolved. Sorry Carol, but you've only written an introduction here. It isn't a complete thought. I know it's fun to be "evil" every now and then, but this isn't an example of that. Instead, it's just a tease.
