My Personal Reaction: Frightened! I love scary stories and finally a story has sent shivers down my spine, the Soul Game is more then just a campfire horror story, it is a wonderful story with great characters and is rather short as well! I loved reading the whole selection, as I went on I simply could not get enough, The Soul Game has one of the best plot twists as well, I really loved reading this selection. The author did a great job in frightening the reader, so much so that I don't even think I'll be able to sleep tonight!

Author's Intentions?: The author's intentions was ultimately to frighten the reader, that's why it's on a "creepy forum" which made that pretty obvious. The author does an amazing job at this, and patterns of organization include: Chronological order, the story just goes by what happened first, until finally what happens last, and what happens last was definitely a surprise!
