Review
A very short and minor story. I wasn’t satisfied with the ending. There are too many questions. It seems earth like yet there is no doubt that this is not a real place and time on earth. Maybe in the future? Maybe a fantasy world? There just isn’t enough information to go on and so the story becomes inconsequential.
