The author has made the mistake of using contractions in conversation to indicate accent and class status. Also the use of — characters instead of quote marks for speech is a little difficult to read.
To no one's surprise, yet another white male author writes a rape story. Because they don't know how to write horror so they resort to cheap scares.

Spoiler
the male friend because he's straddling her, hand over mouth, with an erection. Apparently the boyfriend got up to pee and was eaten by a monster. He gets this point across in the most rapey way possible.Spoiler
The mc plays along knowing this is sexual assault but trying to survive. She sees the monster outside the cave, some plant horror thing, and goes back further inside the cave. There the male friend sexual harasses her, sexually assaults her physically, says a lot of colonizer and racism shit, victim blames her for him wanting to rape her. She escapes to the front of the cave where she waits until sunrise to escape, threatening to scream and get the monsters attention if he tries to rape her.Spoiler
Sunrise eventually comes. The monster magically vanishes. They both escape. The boyfriend is never found as is assumed to be dead. While they're driving off the novella ends with the ground turning into a sink hole created by the mosnter. Loud question mark. I think, I'm not thinking too hard about this.Do I rec this? Fuck no.
