Interesting concept, difficult to kinda grasp between the modern world and dystopian fantasy. This is a little odd, but overall not a bad read. Super short little novella about love and demons and the end of the world. “At six, I’d thought love was a full bely; at sixteen, I’d thought it was wildflowers and gooseberries and Mayapple’s mouth on mine. At seventeen, I knew better: love is whatever you’re willing to kill for.”
