review 1: Loved it. It reminds me of the waiting rooms of hospitals when you just sit there and keep looking at the watch until your time arrives. I kinda expected Charlie to die, but i loves the suspense. The whole short story is a kind of waiting for that final line. The flow is smooth and the story picks up one's interest and never drops it. There is noting special about the diction but the clever way with which it is used makes the story worthwhile.
review 2: Greatest lead-in for a short story: "The future is as harsh as nature. Harsher even. Cruel and emotionless. The future is a cryptic place, where a synthetic voice is on the other end when you dial customer service, and it never understands your words. DOES NOT COMPUTE and PLEASE REPEAT YOUR REQUEST are common w
... moreords in the future. The future is filled with blinking lights and chirping beeps. Complex highways and colossal buildings. One hundred foot billboards line the roads, and everything around you is a commercial for a product you do not need. And somewhere along the line, we lost the human spirit; self-reliance and self-worth disappeared. Because the future is a place where government dictates happiness, and society mandates perception. Welcome. I hope you enjoy yourself." less
