Here are the main characters in this noir, suburban world:

  • Rachel Matthews – A woman obsessed over her son’s peculiar behavior and more devoted to her friends than to her adoring husband.
  • Amy Lewis – A traumatic event in her childhood left her brimming with anxieties. A newcomer’s provocative style stirs up the cruel voice of Amy’s father and intensifies her paranoia.
  • Charlotte Whittington – Living in suburbia isn’t her first choice, but it’s the best place for her daughter right now. All she wants to do is feel safe and pursue her artistic desires, but Amy Lewis views her as a femme fatale who doesn’t belong in their Silicon Valley community.

Writer David D. Sharp had this to say about Cathryn’s flash fiction: Cathryn’s work casts familiar settings in a new, uncomfortable light where everyday scenarios escalate into something far more sinister indeed.
