Thought provoking

Great short story, I only wish that it were a full novel. While the story left me wanting more, it was not done in a way that felt incomplete.
Great narration as well. I'm off to find more of Hugh Howey's work and I would definitely enjoy other stories performed by Gabra Zackman.

Left me wanting more!

I enjoyed the story, it was self contained and tied up nicely. But it was short. There wasn’t any lesson or moral to be taught . It just was.

Well… it’s short

This is great but it just ends. Right at a pivotal point it just ends. If you need a neat ending skip this. Otherwise it's great!
