Told in first person, it's about a female lawyer who just--isn't herself one morning. The story turns on what she does about that.
This story has a few weaknesses. For one, her psychiatrist has the wherewithal to handily deal with her problem, maybe a little too easily; the level of conflict and/or possible danger was minimized. This story could have been a lot more edgy if he hadn't decided to chaperone her 24/7. Think about it a bit and that in itself seems flimsy; he'd need some kind of backup in order to get any sleep. Also, I think they'd maybe develop some interpersonal friction after a few weeks of that. He seems to have a cheesy motive concerning her, as well, in boosting his professional status.
This jumped out at me:
How did he know that? Sounds like he scanned the defendant. Did the MC wrangle the legalities of that for him?" ... Just to be sure, I was right, two nights ago I guided you back to my office and ran a scan on you. You registered as fully asleep, your brain patterns perfectly tranquil, except they were the patterns of the woman you'd defended in court the afternoon before."
It isn't a problem that the story ends well, it is a problem that it arrives at the ending almost painlessly for both of them.
Now, back to that confusion I mentioned. There's a scene shift between the first and second paragraphs, but it isn't indicated in any way, so it tripped me up. I read about her toothbrush moving, and then her boss is commenting on her hairdo (and how did she get dressed and out of the house without noticing that?) --and I'm wondering, why is she brushing her teeth in front of her boss? All that's needed is a scene separator between the first two paragraphs, like ***.
Next bit of confusion was the second scene, in which it takes eight paragraphs to get to the information that the person she's talking to there is her shrink. I could have used that information a little sooner.
After that, everything proceeds smoothly--so smoothly that I was finished with it and thinking, "not bad" before I realized it could have done a lot more.
Good characterization and dialog, and I didn't notice a single mechanical error. It just could have been so much more--interesting.
