Won the Short Story competition for my year, so I thought it would be worth sharing. If it seems rushed, there was a 1500 word limit. Thanks.
And yes, I like the Weeknd if you couldn't tell.

- RznRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0The story was intriguing and yet the situation itself sort of falls to a deus ex machina with a crossword puzzle and figuring out the clue and the hidden meaning of the clue and then having exactly that on hand to lead to something which makes no sense? I will not spoil, but the chain of events being so unrealistic detracted from the conclusion in a way that was really striking for me.
