Wew, this is some story. Excellent writing, food for thought, brutal though. Nothing really visible, but the described sounds say it. I would say not for the faint of heart ;-) Can't say too much, the story is short and to the point and it would be spoiling. But... here is the outline:
A family of grandmother (plus cat), father, mother and kids go out on a trip. All the while a well known criminal is out on the loose. While the grandmother is strongly against the trip direction due to this situation, she is the one who brings the family into danger zone unwillingly but stubbornly.
Wew... And amazing how much info, detail and character a writer can bring across in such a short story. That is quality writing. But wew... brutal. Have to read again though, take it all in again....
