Press Ann

This week I read a short story called Press Ann by Terry Bisson, and it’s from The Mammoth book of comic fantasy. First off all I must say that this little story was a bit weird and confusing, it did however start out fine, it was this girls birthday and she was going to go out with friends but she had to pay for everything so she needed to go to the flash and cash atm but when she did the atm was talking to her and trying get in her life basically. This story is weird because you usually don’t see atm machines that can actually talk and basically have a human brain, and no exactly what is going on with you at that time, but still acts like a machine. I kind of like the slower reveal of information in this story but once more things start happening and its getting better you expect the author to sum up everything in the end, but that doesn’t happen which is big bummer. The author really doesn’t develop his actors much in this story but, definitely tries to through the atm machine but really doesn’t manage to do that all that well
