 The Community Group's Balloon Project is such a 90s thing! LOL

Spooky stalker, atmospheric setting, and chilling events that our narrator recalls from childhood set the stage for this disjointed story.

I did not like the jumps in timeline (forward and back, rather than simply chronological), but found this story otherwise fairly engaging and intriguing.

This horror story reads more like a psychological thriller, which is outside my usual taste. Worth a read if any piece of the description interests you. :)
