this was a very interesting read. but i agree with what ive seen a lot of people say, its far too short for the story within. it needed a lot more substance. 
this was my 2nd read of october, and after my first read not ending up being horror, i was hoping this would satisfy that. but again, nothing scary. just a bit intense and weird and a tad too scientific for me. a lot of things left unsaid. it was very good and the writing is beautiful. but i think if i had read "if we were villains" first, which i havent yet, i wouldve been much more disappointed
