This was a relentless read, but in a very, very good way. You had my brain spinning around trying to follow the narrator’s logic, even though I knew it wasn’t going to be possible.

I’m glad it’s part of a serial - I’m going to add it to my list!

This was perfectly as it should be. Full stop.

this is like an endless series of logic problems and each situation adds an imperceptible few grams of menace to the balance. i am waiting for the scales to tip into carnage but perhaps it will never happen.

that sense of scales tipping is what gets explored in the short novel based on this story -- https://morganbeatty.substack.com/p/into-it-a-novel

This story hums lime there’s something just below the surface. Original and oddly disquieting.
