Review: Take a Pass on This One

There are a couple of hundred good short stories being offered for free right now in the Amazon Kindle store - in the search box for the Kindle store: just type in "short story" without the quotes, then sort the results from lowest price to highest.This is not one of those good short stories.  I see this is part of a series of stories, which I find curious as this particular installment is fairly unrealistic, I had an almost impossible time getting my head around the technology, and the ending was, well, just plain weird.  This took me about five minutes to read, and I felt like it was a waste of time - if I had paid anything for this vs. the freebie it was, I would have felt like I had wasted whatever cash I had invested.  As it is, I just lost five minutes of my life.  Despite the free price, I would take a pass on this one - if they every start charging for it in the Kindle store, be warned!
