meandrous and kinda gripping ?? somehow it felt weird to read the omniscient pov. i just imagined the author playing the role of some higher being 😅.

for about half of it i was waiting for one of them to die, a twist, something. but i guess this is not that type of horror, just a greatly internal one. can’t say i’m disappointed.
