Review of The Last Train Ticket by Genipher

I really like this. It did stir a distant memory of something similar I read long ago but, as they say, there's nothing new under the sun. And we're all borrowing from each other all the time, whether we're aware of it or not. That's how literature is built.

The point is that this is inventive and imaginative, well written and constructed without errors or typos. The imagined world is delivered not through info dump, but by little details fed into the text at various times, thereby avoiding long explanations but telling the readers as much as they need to know. And it all holds together, especially as any difficulties are dealt with in Tangent's thoughts.

That's an impressively solid base for a short story and the drama does not disappoint.
A charming, long distance romance, apparently impossible to fulfill, is made suddenly within reach by an unexpected announcement from the powers that be. And Tangent is given what she craves, a chance to make her dreams come true. It really is a lovely little story, expertly delivered. On such mundane things as a train ticket, wonderful tales can be constructed.

I have no hesitation in rating it at five stars. Great work!
