My favourite part was about the signs. Very tense. I’ve never read such an open ended story.
Zadie Smith’s introduction was very insightful but it unfortunately shaped my thoughts on the story before I had a chance to read it.

Note: I skipped the introduction and read it after the story, and I'm glad I did, as it really would have spoiled the story and my getting to experience it for the first time as a story.
Moderate: Abandonment and Racism
