It was alright. A quick filler book if you need one. I read this to fulfill 2 prompts: 1 from Fable’s July challenge to read for 1 hour outside, and July’s Secret Prompt from HRCYED 2.0 to read an entire book outside. A quick short story made the most sense and it was available immediately. It was only about 34 pages, but I’m a “slow” reader, so it worked. Anyway, it was fine. Creepy af and disturbing. It probably would’ve been better if it was longer and more drawn out to build intensity, but it was also disturbing so maybe not. Idk. Whatever. Idc. Why am I even still typing??
