The ending was pretty obvious (to me at least) but not in a bad way. I liked the characters, especially Walter, and the antagonist was entirely unique. I was pleasantly surprised that Walter didn't end up being the monster, because I halfway expected him to be. After reading a few of your stories (I intend to work my way through the list), I can see you're not one for clichéd writing. Even though I had the ending figured out fairly early on, the sense of dread still built up, and I was extremely satisfied at the end. I enjoy stories that are able to present a predictable ending because the writing and story are so well done, and the ending was worded so well it worked really well. I've thoroughly enjoyed the few stories I've read by you and look forward to getting through the rest. 10/10.
