I absolutely loved this, I saw a friend talking about it and they never steer me wrong, so here we are 😍.
A serial killer or well wannabe one is looking for a place to hide some evidence and a remote location seems the easy choice, not many people and no prying eyes, but he runs into a woman and a weird weather drops them into a mist covered field with just a single insanely tall building outside that says "Monstrous" what could it mean?
Is this punishment, if so what could this woman have done that would land her with him? Do they work together and if this is punishment, how can he trust someone as morally bankrupt as he is..
I loved how off it felt the whole time I read this, I kept thinking, is this how they felt? Disoriented but desperate for answers.
What the fuck is going on and this building, do they go in?
I'm just obsessed with this weird chaos story, I need more of this?
