The flow of this was a little confusing, but you “get it” by the end. It was a very creative way to tell it. As for the story itself, it’s a real mindf&€k. It seems like a typical “women get cool powers” story but it’s really a startlingly bleak social commentary. This will challenge you to rethink everything.
