This story is capitivating, almost as if by magic.
That tasteless joke aside, its a beautiful piece showing how minor quibbles can lead to such devestating consequences.
The relationships and social connections throughout are stitched together with a raw, real intensity. Its beautiful.
A warning though, it can be intense so just a heads up!
