How enjoyable! The story begins with a leisurely review, an hour in the life of a woman named Joanna, and then gradually picks up the pace by using tension and a very real sense of danger until I felt I was running through the story with the protagonist. Since it's a short story, the list price of just under a buck is reasonable, though I hope it ends up in a short story collection by this author at some point. If it shows up free, definitely snag it if you love near-future science fiction.Formatting: 4/5The Kindle book opens a page too early, showing the tail end of the author's book list. No biggie, just click Next Page to get to the first page of the actual story.A number of the indented paragraphs aren't indented properly, with hanging lines and hard returns in the middle of sentences. This bothered me right up until the pacing picked up, and then I couldn't have cared less. (I'll make a comment directed to the author about this issue as an addendum to my review, since it doesn't need to be in the review itself.)Length: 937 locations, with the story itself starting at 41 and ending at 869. Then there's an About the Author followed by blurbs for two other stories, "BANG: Memoirs of a Relationship Assassin" and "Fake Kate."
