A strange little magical realism treated story that left me as confused about what it was about and what happened and how as it did when I started it.
Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing just didn’t expect to have no idea what was going on, going into this story.
The writing was okay -it felt a little clunky and plump in some instances ( for example at some point the police man wants to be careful and not too direct while questioning the suspect and says „are you a whore?“. Which, I mean I am not the expert at always knowing what’s okay to say kn any given situation but that’s not a particularly carefully worded way to start a conversation) which I Jeveraner if it was done purposely or not.
It was still an interesting if very strange read and if you have a few minutes and are interested, why not give it a quick read? It’s not even 30 pages!
