Well, I am a sucker for short pasta, especially when it is surreal and dream like. Maybe that's why I'm going to give this a 10/10. But, maybe it's more than that. Writing in the second person can be very difficult; often it suddenly starts to sound silly and juvenile, as if you are telling a story to a child. But your narrative voice is so strong and mature, with such a sense of malice in the prose, that this creepy little tale just ends up working on many levels: Freudian, paranoia, hallucinatory, mental illness, and nightmare. Good work, but, you know, I just love short pastas.
