I liked many parts of this! I loved the fragmented nature of the storytelling and how the author was able to connect so many different plots in a very natural way. The short, abrasive, paragraph structure also worked really well; typically I’d be put off by that kind of staccato.
However, the whole thing fell a little flat at the end. Maybe the point of the story is that there is no climax, but that didn’t come across to me. And sometimes we’d go off on tangents that muddied the story more than they added context. The whole thing needed more intentionality, in my opinion.
