Charming, But Insubstantial
This is a flash fiction about the fear of being replaced by a robot housekeeper and forgotten by your family with an extremely explicit 'be careful what you wish for'.
The writing and performance are charming, and this area which, while well-trod, is rife with opportunities to tell interesting stories. But unfortunately, I didn't see anything new or done exquisitely, which are kinda the expectations when approaching a well-established narrative and/ or trope. I suppose it could be argued that stripping it down to the bones in a roughly ten minute micro story, presented almost like a blueprint or standard rules document for others to rework, is something new. But that doesn't appear to be the point of this, which is a standalone story on its own.
I do enjoy the writing style and would still be interested to read more of this author.

Quite interesting
A bit too much like an episode of ‘Black Mirror’ and very short but quite interesting.
