Read this story was I was 13/14, and I re-listened to it now at age 23. It’s such a strange experience to be hit by all the same visualizations I had back then, all the same despair, but with a new perspective. Given I’m older, I’ve had to look back on events in my life the same way, things I didn’t understand that turned out to be tragic. Super well written, genuinely creepy, and captivating. My 5-stars is likely influenced by a bit of nostalgia but… eh, you know.
God, fuck this story though. Brutal.The map thing will never leave me dude.
