Ok, my fault. I did not notice that it was 47 pages long (although that seems like longer than it really is).I got it via the kindle lending library, and the legth was not that apparent in the listing. The premise is kind of bizzare as if Humans have the reasorces to move every grave off the earth, then one would assume that when they needed the room, it would be easier to just move people elsewhere, but I'll give in to that logic for the story';s sake.So as I started reading it I thought to myself "if this keeps up it might be a 4 or 5 star book."  By about hwere I felt chapter 2 was starting thigns started to look like I could predict where they were going, but one never knows and I figured the author was being so obvious that surely there would be a surprise change somewhere.Surprise! not only wasn't there, but after the initial set up, the story ends. Deus Ex Machinia. No real explanations, so going further into where the story was headed, no follow up, nuthin'. Except for one of those last paragraph  !!! oh suprise!!! twists that was exactly what I had thought (and feared) was coming.Part of me wanted to rate this lower as I really did feel ripped off by the size, but more so because there is such a decent set up it makes it really frustrating that it just gets chopped off at the end. Now the writing is fine. No problem there. It just does not go anywhere. It felt like one of those old stories in a 'Tales of Horror' comic book where the last panel is your only reward for sitting through the whole story.In all fairness, this could be developed into an interesting novel, and that is part of my extreme frustration- that and I really hate people selling short stories by themselves. At least package them up and give us a reasonable amount.
