It’s snowing in Wellington. It shouldn’t snow in Wellington. Thomas can’t bring himself to go home after work. It’s not clear why.

Wow. I wasn’t expecting much but I was floored by the end tbh. The city feels like its own character and I love it when authors do that. It really hits different reading about some place you know well, don’t it.
