Case Report

A woman gets freaked out when everyone in her small town is stuck in time. She calls the police. The TV automatically turns on it says hello how can I help you? She answers have you seen what is going on in town the TV answers back yes we’re very aware of it. What is going on the TV answers the mothership has come back to earth to check on the sheepeople. she says what this can’t be. I just wrote this in my book. The TV answers. Yes, we know.

4.6

A writer trapped in her own cliché of sheepeople and motherships is almost self-aware enough to be refreshing.

August Pike

5.2

Does the structural frame hold under the sudden twist? Only barely, as the foundation shifts abruptly from thriller to sci-fi.

That sharp ice-cold prickle when the screen talks back—wait, she wrote it?—my skin prickled at the hostility of her own reality.

5.6

Check on sheepeople! TV says yes we know! Classic writer paranoia, zero chill, cosmic burn.
