I'm a stoic, so I should be safe. Hehehe.

Interesting enough premise, though I can't help feel a bit silly that the narrator is able to, er, narrate to us while stitched up and and (presumably) crucified. The former first half of the story feels stronger over-all; I actually was expecting the conflict to come from a different angle, like someone letting themself in through a window or the grandmother having some secrets of her own - maybe because of my own opinions, the scarecrow bears were more weird (and somewhat humorous) then frightening.

That being said, the story *felt* very weird in the way that sleeping in an unfamiliar house, owned by an unfamiliar relative, can feel, and did that very well. I liked the name they chose for themselves as well, though perhaps would've gone with the Aesthetes myself. Interesting, for certain!
