Click! by Scott A Butler

I picked this up on a whim, really.  I think it was a recommendation from someone on Goodreads and it was free on Amazon for the weekend, so I thought, 'Why not?'

Click! is a short story about Peter, who is spends a lot of time watching television and even more time being harassed by the bullies at his school, until one day he finds something that might let him get the upper hand for once.

I really enjoyed this story. It was quite short - it only took me about half an hour to read - but the writing flowed nicely and the author managed to pack quite a lot in and it read like one of those old R L Stine Goosebumps stories, even down to the unnerving ending.

I think this story has the potential to be expanded on in the future and possibly made into a short novel with further background and development of the characters and plot.  I'd be interested to read it if that happens!
