3.5
god this story messed me up
in terms of writing it was extremely good - i would describe it as quiet horror in the middle of winter with a pinch of magical realism, BUT im giving it a 3.5 for personal reasons. It just made me feel sad and hollow inside and i dont like feeling sad and hollow inside
