Reviews

“One of the best and arguably the worst ways to end a short story is by leaving it open for interpretation. The symbolism and emotion enveloped in this apocalyptic story is akin to Mother! and “Divergent.” There are allusions to politics, humanity, greed, and I am certain many more specific to the reader. This climactic short story is one I could see being dissected in literature classes, due to its allegorical nature.” — Kilynn
