From the first paragraph, the author does this beautiful dance of zooming into the story, going from macro to micro with each progression of a sentence. The word choices are lush, almost settling on the reader the way the clouds settle into the landscape of the story.

Then, things start to take a weird surreal turn as you realize that his small world isn't what it seems, and things work differently.

I loved the odd lilt of the story and the slow unfolding of details that were increasingly fever-dreamy. I'm so interested in this strange story!
