I couldn’t help, when I started reading this, thinking that the author had seen one too many action/horror movies. The way it’s written mimics the way a movie would play out, hopping between two parallel plot lines to show what’s going on simultaneously. While the hopping works visually, switching back and forth between paragraphs creates for a confusing read.
