The time-line and person seaking can sometimes be confusing, but I think that's a purposeful device.

5.0

Such a twisted, dark, intense story. I really loved Sarah. I found Wee’git to be very unsettling, even if he wasn’t in most of the story. 

It’s kind of a magical realism coming-of-age story, with the twist that of course, is there magic? Or are the characters just experiencing drug induced hallucinations? 

Well written and well executed.
