It's an interesting story, but too short and shallow. We don't get any answers, and the story doesn't support anything but questions - there's little to no universe-building, since the part that we get shown is basic 70's (?) US small town. The woman is entirely a mystery, how she managed it is a mystery, the story stops before we find out any results...It reads like a Philip K. Dick story, with all the questions and no answers. The style is supposed to be funny, I think, but overall it leaves me unsatisfied. ( )
