It’s a short novella and somewhat suffers from that. It’s difficult to determine the aim of the story. Is it a reflection on the heat of war blinding you from determining what is real and fantasy? A case study on listening to your gut? The idea that sometimes dreams are not meant to inspire us to greatness but rather save us from our reality sometimes is certainly interesting.
