*Spoilers*
Been sampling some different shorts from members of the SS crew that I haven't read previously. Today, it was When It's Over (and also A Woman Scorned.)
Have to say - I enjoyed this one better. At first, I found the ending a bit jarring. Didn't expect it. And I also found the coincidence of Bob's proclamations of love, and immediate demise to be a bit...well, convenient.
But on the second read, it wore well...despite all that. The picnic was a sweet snapshot of Bob's life, family and personality - all the things that I needed, in order for me to care about his death at the end of the script.
Taken for what it is - a slice of life type of script - it was nice. And a satisfying read.
Thx!
