A short story
This was a short story set in the future. The people discussed the two lands and life has changed. I will admit I was a bit lost when it ended abruptly. I was just getting into the story and enjoyed listening to it.
I did get the book for free so overall it was good.

Sort of good..hard to get a good read on this one.
Very short, sort of odd, and compelling in a dark way. I got it for free, but it is worth the listen notwithstanding. Recommended.
