Without having a spoiler, if you are looking for something quick to read, say during your lunch break, this is a good one to pick up.  I could imagine this one could be a successful novel or novella if the author expanded it.If you think about the concept of a short story, the author has to be good - fast - in order to grab your attention due to the limited amount of words vs. a novel writer having lots of room and words in order to drive home his or her point or main idea.  With this short story, the author quickly sets the stage for you, has some realistic and meaningful dialogue, and brings home the conclusion.  I'll admit at the end I had a little emotional tug at the outcome, and she left me wanting more, which is a good thing (and hence my comment on a novel aspect in the paragraph above).Overall, very good job!
