Raw, honest, and achingly beautiful. An important story. The second person narration was a perfect choice; the tone subtly accusatory, implying a sense of dissociation while a need for confrontation, as we follow along, stretches and swells. I can't write much, yet, haven't known stories could exist in this form. But this is my new favourite.
