Journalist Heidi Cohen is in Cape Cod investigating the sources of recurring toxic algae blooms along the coast. A local named Jimmy has his own theory for her.

This is story 4 of Amazon's short story collection Creature Feature. I love that these releases include the kindle and the audible version for each.
Unfortunately, much like the many reviews I've already seen on it, I don't have much to say about this one. And what I do, is not really good. This short story is ultimately a flop for me. Characters are flimsy, the story boring. When I finished it, it actually thought, wait do I need to listen to that one again? But no, it's really just kind of that dull.
I do like that this creature feature leans into more scifi, as I really enjoyed the short he did for the Forward Collection, but it just didn't amount to what I needed it too. Personally a 2.5/5*
Part of the Creature Feature Collection from Amazon.
This one was very like Ankle Snatcher in that it had a slightly too long build up for being so short, and then ended so abruptly it seemed unfinished. Perhaps that's the intent, to leave the reader just freaked out enough that their imagination does the rest, but I quite like at least a hint at an ending.
