A five star review of Brainstorm by Matthew Drzymala

I couldn’t help but compare this story to a great drabble. It has the same sting in the tail that makes you reassess what the whole story was about. I didn’t see it coming at all. Well done, Matt.
The story is well written and thoughtful, with some deep perception into the human psyche. It deals wonderfully with the subject of loss and depression. How even the most organised of us can be thrown in a loop when we lose someone close to us. Like in real life, these things rarely come alone, and the main character has to deal with the loss of three people close to him. Despite his profession, and all that he has learned over the years, he is still lost in a sea of despair and his life is falling apart at the seams.
An excellent read, punchy and crisp. It is a short story, but nothing has been cut from it. The story is complete and doesn’t leave you feeling cheated afterwards.
Bravo.
