Cairo Tunnel

This was a great short story. Everything was detailed. Everything. Even the fan which was only briefly mentioned was described as being dusty. The descriptions made me see and feel everything that was going on the story. It was hot, cramped, and sticky: a claustrophobic nightmare. I think that the best part of this story was how it really wasn't much of a story at all. It was a moment in time. She gets on the subway, she gets off the subway, that was it. Her descriptions and well written prose is what made it a satisfying read, even though nothing much happened.
