This was a clever piece, an over the top story centered around a mundane aspect of life. I enjoy these kinds of juxtaposition.

I admire the intent, if not the execution of this story.
It reads as if it were a fiction writing assignment from an interested, but not particularly talented, high school student. It's not terrible...but neither is it particularly good. There's no strong hook for the reader, almost no character development, and only the barest gloss of atmosphere.
Without knowing anything about the writer, I'd say that his writing might go somewhere in time, but it will take a lot of practice.
Read it because it's free, but don't expect too much.

I enjoyed this story. The use of language was execellent and kept me interested to the end.
