Crawlspace

CRAWLSPACE was one of the earlier stories I started writing, and ended up being longer than I originally envisioned. I'm rather fond of the final section, the somewhat poetic outro on which it culminates.

  Reactions to this story have been interesting to follow, and seem to vary depending on gender. There are two sides to every story, the axiom goes, and CRAWLSPACE is no exception. Regardless of whether you choose to place your loyalties and sympathy with the main character, or if you feel that he is getting his just desserts, the ending should still satisfy most.

  As a side note, the original draft ended in a much more brutal and conclusive manner, but I think the ending as it is now puts the reading in a much greater state of psychological discomfort, and leaves the "where do they go from here" open to the imagination.
