Day One Hundred Fifty-Four: "This is a Voice from Your Past" by Merrill Joan Gerber

Mistrust.

A woman hears from an old classmate who, as it turns out, is freeloading after failing at his attempts at becoming a writer. He is a con artist of the worse kind and while she suspects it, the reader sees this woman trying to believe him, to trust him, and ultimately, keep him in her life. But she has made a mistake and by the story's end, the woman is paranoid and this man, her old friend, is haunting her. He is there in every unanswered phone call, in every knock at the door. It was a mystery story in its own way from start to finish and I could NOT stop reading.

I'd read this author again for sure. The flow and the feel of the story was fantastic!
