Milo James Fowler is one of my favorite short story writers, I know him online and we share a background in education and spec fiction writing. So that's the disclaimer - I'm inclined to be biased. However, I read this post-apocalyptic, dystopic tale with some skepticism since I've also written a short saga in this "after the bomb" vein. But I was pleasantly surprised. First, this story goes a different direction than what I was expecting. And second, it leaves a lot for the imagination - and is ripe for a sequel. If you're familiar with Hugh Howey'sWool - Part One, then this might be described as a possible future tale in that kind of world, a "post-silo" SF/horror, if you will. I liked it and hope Fowler tells the next chapter.
