i saw that a friend was reading this so i decided it was time for a reread, what a fucking story.
i remember reading this a WHILE back and it still pops into my brain from time to time, beautiful representation of what the value of a society's wellbeing truly is, even at the expense of another (group)'s pain

I read this for class, and since it has stuck with me. I don't know what about it remained in my brain for all these months. Truly mesmerizing.
