Not entirely convinced by Eve at the moment I can't lie...

She runs away from the neighbours house without answering the call that is assumedly her girlfriend calling back after the line cut out because she had a bad feeling at one of the doors having mysteriously opened a crack but then follows a mysterious figure that disappears into the woods immediately after instead of going home and checking on the family?

No amount of people pleasing tendencies would have me let a random family of 5 claiming to want a tour of the dad's old house in. I'd be more likely to not even open the door.

"I needed her to understand that the most pressing problem was not my mental state but the state of the world. The danger was objectively real. There was no guarantee that the needle of crisis, which had always pointed away from us, at other families in other places, would not swing in our direction."

"Plot is the artificial reduction of life's complexity and randomness. It is a way to gove aesthetic form to reality."

Ahh, the moment I thought the horror of being observed while writing was such as Satre's Other, the book proceeds to reference Satre.

"The secondhand experience is always better. The image is crisper, the view is better, the camera angle and the soundtrack manipulate my emotions in a way reality can't anymore. I don't know that we are actually human at this point, those of us who are like most of us, who grew up with TV and movies and now the Internet."

Ahh when TV & movies were listed over the crushing influence of social media over a decade ago
