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.
