A lot of short stories and novelettes don't do much for me, because I'm really big on character development and plot, and the format just doesn't provide enough room for that, at least for me.

But this story really grew on me. The author has managed to create nine very vivid little stories working within the limitations of the length, which is a really big accomplishment. I enjoyed reading these deftly-drawn vignettes with details about things with which I have little or no familiarity. And I thought that the ending was perfect.
