Truthful. Shocking. Philosophical. Did not expect it. I was actually quite skeptical about it up to The Twist (more than a half the story in). And then it just shocked me.
This short story will make you think about your own life and try to remember your own mistakes. Because it can all apply to you too. Nobody's exempt from this. And you never think about it. You don't even know what you might be hiding from yourself. Humans are very interesting, the way their personalities function. Is there ultimate truth? Does ultimate truth matter, in the long run? Do we always know who we really are? Or do we just pick what's convenient, or maybe just what enables us not to crumble and go on?
Other than the questions themselves, this piece is written well. I especially loved it how the author weaved the two stories together and how they reinforced the point. Very nicely done. Some great writing.
I can't remember who recommended this to me, but I know it was one of my Goodreads friends. Thank you, whoever it was!
