Been so long since my last nested story :) A bit confusing at time but I liked the ending, so meta. A story once unleashed grows its own tail after all.

An interesting series of stories, stacked like Russian nesting dolls, that combine to tell the over-arching story. The prose was evocative without being too purple for my tastes, while the story kept me intrigued with a satisfying resolution and reveal at the end.
