An Ambrosia Arts Review
of “Closure” written by Kim Carmichael
I recently read the short story “Closure” written by Kim
Carmichael. Unsure of what to expect, I dived in head first and found myself
treading some boiling waters. The characters are well fleshed out and the
storyline is something that just about everyone can relate to…that one person
you missed your chance with back in high school. Life goes on and people change. Or do they? You’ll find yourself asking this
very same question throughout the entirety of the plot. I found the struggle
for power delightfully tormenting and many times I found myself unable to
decide just who I wanted to have the upper hand in the situation. The sexual
tension is palpable. The scenes left me wanting more, both disappointed and
excited that what I expected wasn’t necessarily what I was given. It was a
refreshing telling of wanting what you can’t have and not exactly getting what
you want but wanting exactly what you ended up with and how you got it. Lost
love, lust and just enough control or loss of it makes this story a MUST
read! No matter which side you
ultimately choose, you are bound to be satisfied.
