    • 4/5
      Interesting story read by the author. It was a good read and I enjoyed it.
    • 5/5
      This is a great short story with an interesting plot.
    • 2/5
      I wonder if this story is part of a greater anthology or something, but as a 1st-time J.F. Penn reader, the "surprise twist" ending was cheap and undeserved. Like the reverse of a deus ex machina.
