Review: Familiar idea, executed okay
Rating: 3 out of 5

This premise of this story is achingly familiar, to the point that it makes you doubt the main character's intelligence when she takes so long to figure out what is happening.  The author seems to struggle with giving appropriate amounts of detail -- although the story is a brief snapshot in time, there is an office interaction in the middle that seems painfully out of place.It's entertaining enough, but I think the author is still trying to figure out what works within the short story form and what doesn't.  An idea this familiar should have some, anything, to distinguish it.
