Mmm... I am conflicted on this...
On one hand the story is well written in terms of characterizations and voice, but that ending...
All I'll say is that there are certain expectations when using certain devices for stories like this - and while I understand it was likely due to a word limit and the fact it was a commission - that ending just killed it for me.
Premise and beginning was really good: the stages of denial, the small little details here and there...
Just that ending. It just felt way too sudden, for that method of shrinking.
Author's Response:
I can definitely understand that. I'm sorry it ruined it for you, but I feel having the shrinking be sudden lends it far more cruelty than a slow shrinking, and the ending being ambiguous to Sami's horrible fate is meant to let your imagination fill in the gaps.
Sorry again that it ruined your enjoyment.
