'Hiræth' is a short story about the sorrows of a break up. It does a great job of creating a cold and sad atmosphere, the literal weather reflecting on how bad a break up became, the use of dark and moody backgrounds, and the gentle acoustic guitar music. The two characters feel like realistic portrayals of immature adults who are still developing their emotional intelligence, so, as the story reads out like a train wreck happening in slow motion, I couldn't look away. While they act like real characters, it's hard to get a grasp for who the characters are, as both are kinda just generic young adult gay dudes and no distinct personality traits beyond that. The drama itself is unusually melodramatic, since what is presented is the aftermath of a shouting match between the two characters, and it's left up to the reader to fill in the blanks themselves for just how bad it must have been for a 5 year relationship to fall apart. There's also a big emphasis on the title of the piece which is a longing for the past, yet, the reader is left to fill in the blank of what the past is between these two. Small reminiscing at several points in the story could've helped to understand what the characters were longing for, or even during the weekend town tour to see how the two might've acted before the titular fight, and why one side doesn't see the worth in keeping it. Overall, it's a solid piece of work, with lots of care and artistry put in it, but a scope that feels like it should've been pushed a little bit more.
