Short but surprising

I liked the story very much. Excellent twist on the story’s name. But I found the narrator’s sing-song uptone at the end of sentences annoying. To the narrator’s credit, however, I understood every word, even though she spoke with an UK English accent. I sometimes miss words pronounced in UK English.
