whoa. the bleak, empty atmosphere in this is just great. loved the unclear sense of place and time too, reminded me of Series of Unfortunate Events. but the true ending is what had me kneeling. super cathartic, just amazing stuff
Viewing post in It gets so lonely here comments
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
And yes, I was trying to be pretty vague with the timeline on purpose to add to the sense of ~mystery~ haha
I was pretty deliberate about not referring to specific days of the week, too, or months of the year, or using any dates. I combed through the script after I wrote it to try and remove any mentions of specific time-related words (apart from years, I think) to enhance the atmosphere a bit more. I'm glad it was effective!
