A Fun Story and Intriguing Concept
This story was fun to read in a lot of ways and centers around the frustration that comes with being powerful, but not powerful enough. It does so convincingly and earnestly, reminding me of the struggles I've heard many people in power express.
That said, it seemed to me to fall at the wrong length: too short to bring as much of an emotional impact as the author seemed to hope for, yet too long to leave the ideas as a strong and haunting impression, like a short story might've. This work seems to be almost written like a pilot episode: a struggle to display all the ideas of a story and a character while keeping an extremely condensed narrative. Intentionally or not, it succeeds in this regard, and I would be inclined to read a longer treatment of the character. There were a number of minor typos, though nothing particularly egregious and not too many for a self-published work.
All in all, it was a fun and short bus ride read. For $0.99, it's a good way to spend an hour or so.
