Review: Dark, with bleak ending--but a fun read!

Okay, the story is dark, but that neither makes it good nor bad, just dark.  For me the plot is novel and interesting and the writing quality is good.  That is, I really enjoyed reading this story.  The ending is indeed abrupt and unsatisfying following the much more satisfying body of the story.  But for me...well, that's just how this story ends.  There is nothing inherently wrong with a story that ends on a down note.  Lots of real-life stories end that way.  That said, the story does cry out for further elaboration as a longer short story, novella, or novel to make better use of the interesting plot.  Of course, the ending might still be bleak...
