Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Pro: Vivid description of being on a barge in San Francisco Bay surrounded by desolation.

This is really a story about how Grecia decided to commit to something. At the end, she still hates San Francisco, but she's committed herself to the task of memorializing it.

Con: There's very little action in this story.
