Paper or Plastic?

by Michael Shotter

Kevin Chamberland fancies himself a "big man," with an expensive car, impressive clothes, and an "important" job to do, but Mr. Chamberland's reality is far different from his fantasies, a fact that he'll become painfully aware of after being asked one simple question: "Paper or Plastic?"

From the author of "The Big Men," “309,” "Shards," “The Nemesis Effect,” "Big Man Down," “500,” and “The Spiral and The Threads” comes an all-new tale from The Nod/Wells Timelines that's sure to satisfy fans of horror, thrillers, suspense, and the universe established in those other works.

This story is included in the author's collection, "8: Tales of The Big Men from The Nod/Wells Timelines."

I found this short story quite creepy and enjoyable! I really like how the author painted the picture of Mr. Chamberland with interesting details that showed us quickly what kind of character we were dealing with.

Thank you to the author and Goodreads, as I won this book in Goodreads Giveaway!

I loved this! Will definitely be reading more of Michael Shotter's work. My only issue is that I wish it was longer to get more of the story! Now I want to read his entire collection!

Quick read. Well written. Easy to follow along. Didn’t expect the ending. Will read additional work from this author.
