Alana Roach’s critique of Ameena’s Praying and Plotting
This was a short story that takes place in a funeral home. Carroll is the widow of Michael, and is consoling his Mother while she takes pride in the fact that she (Carroll) murdered him justifiably (or so she thinks). She gets arrested in the end of the story.
I like the concrete details in this. Small concrete details like the line in the 3rd paragraph , “She tried to hide her amusement as she smoothed out a wrinkle in her dress and continued rubbing the elderly woman’s back.” They really lend a strong feel to the story.
I would have liked more of the story. More of a feel for the woman Carroll’s personality.
