Interesting

This short story by Joe Vasicek is, as I say, interesting. I wish it could be more, since the competition prompt it was written to offered a great deal of conceptual running room for an author to explore. As it stands, it ends up being predictable and trite in a very politically and economically ultra - conservative way.

The writing itself is sound enough, with nothing to derail the eye or ear. It is simply an underprocessed idea that lets the rest of the story, and ultimately the reader, down.
