Sweat

Just once I want to read a story whose language I can understand with having to read it three or four times. Too be honest, I found this "short" story to be long winded and rather boring. I never felt drawn into the characters of Delia or Sykes. Even the ending, which could have been dramatic and exciting, I felt was underwhelming. And I'm not quite sure how a poisonous snake attack could be underwhelming, but it was. All in all, I was not impressed with this story.
