Wow. What a nightmare of a story! Glad it had a happy ending though...?

I am so glad I got to finish my very normal day with this uplifting story about normal, everyday things. Everything is indeed very fine.

This little story about made me cry. I think everyone can relate to Eric after experiencing what 2020 had to offer. When the world around you is exploding into chaos, sometimes the best you can do is wake up and go about your normal business. Although at the end, I did want to shake the characters a bit and scream at them that everything is clearly not fine! I will definitely be rereading this gem.

This story is:
(a) account of 2020 written by person using hallucinogenics;
(b) mutated offspring of Brave New World.
How come this is the only work from this author?! I want more - so much more - stuff like this from him.

“If we just don’t acknowledge what’s happening, it won’t get us.”

An eldritch short worthy of the most terrifying episode of Twilight Zone one could possibly imagine.

I’m so glad Eric got his promotion! It’s so nice to read a story with a happy ending.
