i enjoyed this for a quick read, it wasn’t as shocking or weird as other people made it out to be - maybe reading from an autistic perspective just took the bizarre out of it? like yeah. she just likes working at the convenience store. she has a script and a routine she can rely on… so it wasn’t the oddball character study the reviews seemed to paint it as. i was satisfied with the ending but really it felt more like a short story. we’ll see if earthlings has more too it
