this story developed in my mind into a goddamn movie. the details makes you imagine everything from the main characters view rather than 3rd person. the stoic and numb style of speech and detailing is perfect and makes sense once you become used to her personality and life experiences.

Don't bleed.
If you bleed, blot, burn, and bleach
If you find a hole, find your parents.

These are the rules of Molly Southbourne's life. This novella is amazing and while short, conveys such a compelling story that I was hooked into immediately. This story has elements of horror, sci-fi, and just real life all rolled into it and it was amazing. I will 100% be reading more of Tade Thompson.
