Thanks for the in depth review! Sorry you felt it lacked creativity. My goal with every story I've written on this site is for it to both stand alone and to encompass it into a larger narrative I have going on. In that sense, this one actually references and directly ties to a large number of my previous tales (The Wicker House, Lights, The Soldier, A Bad Night, One Last Drink, and A Figure in the Fog, to be exact.)  It sounds like I'm veering a little bit away from the 'stand alone' aspect based on some of your comments, but hopefully not too much. With that in mind though, the similarities to The Shining were honestly unintentional; if you were to look at all of those other stories and see how they fit in with this one, all the individual pieces seem to work in there naturally. Ah well. I'm  also told my story The Lonely Stars rips off Interstellar, but I've never actually seen that movie so...yeah, lol.
