Synopsis:


Is the predator in you ready for this?

Sitting at home and noodling on the computer can be innocent...but, sometimes it isn't. This story is an example, told through IMs, of when things go wrong...or right.

Read it and be the judge of who is the predators and who is the victims. Are you up to it?

This story is set in cyberspace, anytime. The lack of exact setting is a nod to the romantic's concept of separation of time and space. It's about predators online in the chat rooms of the internet, and it has a twist – sometimes the predator isn't who you expect it to be. The main characters are nameless, labeled "he", "she" and "they." The epistolary nature of the narrative draws the reader in.

 

SRR GRADE:  B
 

A man and woman meet online. One of them is a serial killer but which one? That is the question Mr. Freemont puts into your mind immediately in A Slice of Life. I was intrigued by Mr. Freemont's decision not to name his main characters; they are identified as only He and She throughout. With the details given it was likely either one was the killer and I was kept guessing until the very end. Both characters are interesting, one a teacher, the other a manager of his own company and both seem unlikely candidates for being a serial killer. A Slice of Life is a quick and easy read, perfect for lunchtime reading.
