I love that the other beings' 'shells' included bad sci-fi effects like a bad cut, it made it fun and sorta ethereal with the almost noir/pulpy (in a good way) voice of the narrator. I very much had the feeling that I was reading something from an old science fiction treasury, the kind on newsprint paper.
Is the narrator unreliable in his telling, or am I putting that on this?
Great read 📚
This was a wonderful read—I liked the way the narrator was too distracted by his own reality to notice until he couldn’t turn away from the truth!

He is definitely unreliable until the end, after his encounter.
That's what I suspected. His conspiratorial thinking feels like a logical trauma response to Laura's death and his inability to save her.
