A quirky story that is just too short.

I would've enjoyed more detail, but for a 45-minute short story, it wasn't bad. Loved Louisa Krause as narrator - she did a fantastic job.

I love Rachel Harrison so I thought I'd take a chance on this short story. It's not scary but it's spooky. Check the trigger warnings for sure. It's more of a ghost story that's a journey of self agency. I went in blind and I think that worked for me.

reflective fast-paced

Just a 40 min listen so nothing painful, but I was disappointed in the lack of depth to the story. Usually Harrison kills it for me, but I found this very different from her usual writing.

I know it's a short story but come on! This ended too abruptly. I was rooting for the dead guy. I liked the buildup of will she/won't she. I feel like this would be a good introductory to a larger story.
