This is one of those one-shots that I still think back to just in the whimsy of it all. It's very heartfelt from what I remember but the explosive ending is like a bad punchline - except it's not bad at all. I think what motivated me to read this short story is something I saw on TikTok, where they had taken just the "recorded" parts of this story and compiled a new narrative: the life that the main character captured. And I love stories like that.

I might reread this again soon just to take it in again and watch the movie he wanted to make one more time. Maybe I'll get a physical copy this time.

I don’t know if the story was totally my cup of tea — I didn’t really like the end, but it was an interesting concept and some of the reveals in the middle were good! Also some of the background art was really nice
