It was... an interesting read. I wish it would a little longer because I kind of liked the characters of Miles and (because we'd never been given a real name) Nerdy. Maybe someday Gillian Flynn decides to give us a full story.

Interesting, entertaining, imaginative

Loved this short story and how the end was unexpected. Everything wasn't tied-up nicely at the end, but in this case, I was very okay with it. Nice (okay, a bit disturbing) quick story to get you thinking!

 Strange ending. I understand that the author aimed for multiple surprises, but given the fast pace, it felt overwhelming.

A lot of promise, but I felt like it just sputtered out to a bad ending.
