Very tense story and one where everything is incomplete. The principal voice is a questioner that gets responses from the participants to illustrate the growing confusion and pending demise of the characters as if a medical entity is seeking to ferret out the cause of their situation. Somewhat chilling to think of such poorly understood real diseases having the same presentation in the real world.

The title is perfect for how I feel. Essentially this is a bit of a mindf*ck. It’s a novella with no breaks and no chapters, so you can’t stop. It’s a suspense?! horror?! story so you don’t want to stop. At the same time, the writing style makes it incredibly hard to read. I had to reread sections over and over again. It would have been easier as a play a la Beckett but make it creepy, but I think there’s not supposed to be anything easy about the book.

I did look up others’ thoughts on the book after I finished. I rarely ever do that. The meaning behind the book is actually pretty straightforward. Which makes it even more sad.
