Appraisal:
Set
firmly in the sci-fi realm, this is a short story mystery. On the
first page, Mr. Bailey wakes up in a very strange environment. I
found the descriptions of his room intriguing and compelling. As the
scene changes, the mystery deepens and develops and kept the pages
turning.
Often in a short story, I find myself cheated by an ending that either doesn’t explain enough or is too trite to believe. But in this instance, the finale was both satisfying and thought provoking, although I had to wait until the last page to find out what was truly going on—which is as it should be.
