Meh. I'm honestly finding it kinda hokey, at least in the writing style and characterization. It kind of feels like it's trying too hard to have the narrator be the likeable everyman. And it's a 70s-80s everyman to boot, so it's not clicking easily with my queer millennial self. (Not the text's fault, really, just generation gap there)

Dude. It's literally been a day. Maybe 2 since thus started. You're not even sure your wife is dead yet. And she's other even sure about her husband. What is the point of these two boinking?
Aaaaand you're going to think about your wife during it. And she's thinking about her husband. Probably. Not David anyway. Fiiiine. I guess it's a trauma response. But it still feels kind of out of place.

Probably doesn't help that the narrator is voicing Mrs. Carmody like Roz from Monsters Inc.

"If you doubt, then go on out! Go on out and say 'Howdy do!'" Mrs. Carmody
Am I supposed to be intimidated by her at this point? Or am I supposed to think she's hilarious? Because the snort I made at this line.

Also the narrator keeps *whispering* to be ominous and I am hard of hearing. I already have the volume up beyond the recommended levels. It can't go much higher. The sound balance is not working to make it listenable without straining myself.
