A Short Worth Exploring

Space Toy blends children-like curiosity and terror very well. In what little time it has (without spoiling anything) it sucks you into a beautiful world of possiblies. Tren Sparks paces and performs the tale wonderfully. His performance really sells the balance of these two emotions the short is going for. I would love to hear him tackle more stories like this.

My only complaint was that it felt too short to really be on Audiable. Perhaps if it were apart of a collection of similar short stories, I would give it a 5 star rating.
