Thank you so much for that great feedback @agmoore. I knew it was a risky attempt, I wanted to deviate from writing something familiar as my first attempt. (I do like taking atypical routes I guess 😅)

the story lead to a sense of dis-ease,but it evokes that sense in the reader.

Mission accomplished! <-- There goes the pathology 😁😆

There is a body of literature that deals with this phenomenon.

I have read a few by Franz Kafka, and to a less profound degree (as fiction) from few others. I didn't know there is a whole lot, I do enjoy reading actual psychology literature (non-fiction).

Next time, I will probably try more classic things, to improve my writing first while not worrying much about other aspects. And certainly, to make it more pleasant to read without disturbing the reader (no promises 😛😁)

Thank you so much for reading, and for your amazing break down and feedback for the story.
