Am I a platonic voyeur?
But I’m endlessly delighted by environmental storytelling.
This is undoubtedly where Eternal Threads' puzzling magic lies.
Both our world and cast are small.
Firefighters crouch in the doorway, hoses pumping, desperately trying to get the flames under control.
What’s left of their home holds only glimpses of the people they used to be.
A discarded mobile here, a singed book on a shelf there.
You, known only as Forty Three (whatever happened to the 42 before you?!)
Interestingly enough, you’re free to travel across the timeline at your own pace and place.
Want to start on Day One?
Wonder if it may be better to start at the end and work your way back?
Sure, that could work, too.
Frustratingly, though, I found there was no meaningful climax to this story.
