Review: A decent Silo Story -- worth the time, but not as robust and/or polished as some
Rating: 3 out of 5

This Silo tale takes place in a Silo that seems to be less rigid than others, although they had at least one uprising. While I had no real qualms about the premise of a young woman having a special gift and using it to benefit others in her Silo, I did find that the story lacked the depth that other stories have had. The comfortable knowledge of other Silos, and their acceptance of *gasp* an elevator for emergency use...any why was IT overseeing the rebuild of the stairway? (being an IT worker, I know we are asked for many things outside our area, but construction?).. these things didn't seem to fit in with the established arc of the Silo stories. I also found the writing style choppy, with many short sentences that detracted from the stories flow. Overall, I found the story to be worth the $.99, but I agree with others that suggest a bit more polishing.
