The way this dives into madness is engrossing and I think it's really excellent

Whoremongeries

I suggest spelling this word "Whoremongerese" by analogy with "Japanese", "Sudanese", etc.

It's an interesting, but otherwise kind of cliched piece. Feel like the dialogue here, while it has its highs, overall feels very tame and comparable to a lot of similar fiction that comes with the 'being trapped in place that slowly eats away at you'. Which isn't a bad concept of course, but the execution here is fairly weak, especially when you consider this all to be dialogue. Around the last parts, the idea of it being spoken word recorded sort of loses the sight of the realism that it appears to show, and while the twist is interesting, I'm just left rather underwhelmed by a piece that doesn't really deviate from a certain established norm with these kinda stories.

All in all, it's serviceable, but I'm certainly not a fan of it. Novote.
