Review: Nice twist at the end
Rating: 4 out of 5

I generally like this author's work, and found the premise of this short story interesting.  Based on prior experience with the author, I had a feeling that everything wasn't going to be quite what it seemed.  The story got out to a fairly slow start, and I agree with other reviewers in that there wasn't a lot of character development or background given.  I didn't particularly notice inconsistencies, though.I was waiting for a twist, and I was not disappointed.  I had to chuckle a bit at the end at how the author made his point, and how it had been in the background all through the story, oh-so-subtly.If you like short stories, I'd recommend this (especially as a freebie), but the reader should be warned that there's not a lot of action, and there's nothing particularly mysterious or supernatural or anything like that about the part time people.  I'd consider this more of a psychological or character-study type of story.  3 1/2 stars overall.Note on Kindle formatting:  Fine.  I didn't notice any issues with formatting.
