Is it just me or does the narration becomes less dream like as the biologist approaches the lighthouse?
So far it's been good, but besides the clear VanderMeerian motifs, I have to say most of the setting seems quite familiar- all right, it seems like the Island from Lost. The style is near perfect, it's VanderMeer after all. I just hope down the line events get weirder and less reminiscent of similar works.

Very oneiric beginning. Like finding yourself in a dream. You have a very clear sense of purpose and an adequate past for the current circumstances, and yet there are holes, but you're quick to rationalize over them. You know the people there with you, but you also don't. And you know what things are, even if that knowledge clashes with what things clearly look like. A hole in the ground is a tower, dream logic.
