The Tallest Watchtower

I got this "book" with the understanding that it was only a twelve page document with two stories contained in its pages. I thought that if it got through publishing that the stories inside would be well written and thought provoking. However I was disappointed, the grammar was poor and the sentence structure was less than admirable. The stories themselves were not entertaining, they were simple and random.
The first story is called "Lucy" and is a story about a family who adopts a little girl, and the girl then dies of leukemia. The family then decides to adopt another child.
The second story is if a man who works at the trade towers on the day that they are attacked. The man gets out of the building and runs home to his family, but his family doesn't even know he is there. He travels with a friend back to the towers and realizes he is dead.
The stories both have a good premise, and could make for interesting stories, but because of the poor grammar and ideas that are not completely thought out they seem simple, and almost silly. They would be good works to use in a classroom for practicing grammar, but otherwise are not the best stories ever.
