3.0

I loved Motherthing but I just didn't get this one, I love the writing and the unhinged anticipation of the character and plot but I kept waiting for it to go somewhere, but for me it fell flat.  I came out the end wanting more, maybe I chronically misunderstood the gist or something.  But I am not sure what I was supposed to take from this, and at the end I shouted "was that it?"

This is my personal opinion, I may be missing an obvious point of the story, so please do share your thoughts with me!
