Reviewed:
For a very short story, I thought this was very well done. In so few words it’s difficult to develop much of a plot or back story, but the author did very well in establishing the problem, and the needed solution. It was confusing at first, with what seemed like references to New York City, but the time period was even more indistinct with current names and subjects interspersed with things like a carriage ride. Still, in the last few sentences, the author tied it up nicely, and without revealing any spoilers, all became clear.
I’m surprised this hasn’t scored much higher in reader feedback, but ultra-short stories seem to be harder for readers to appreciate. I DID appreciate it. D_oh_7… Thank you for writing it.
