    Personally I did enjoy the story with a fun twist at the end and a neat concept. The crazy person wandering the streets running into monsters that they swear aren't real and because they're not real they cannot hurt them. I think that it's a really interesting idea to to portray this since of confusion in a character and would be a lot more fun to see it explored in a longer piece. While the story is enjoyable and has a decent flavor the one criticism I have is that the Grammer is slightly inconsistent. Throughout the story the author uses Uses the perspectives of if it's the reader going through or at least that's how it starts off with it by introducing the character as you but it seems to be slightly inconsistent where the narrator tends to shift from their own perspective to putting the reader in the perspective of the narrator I'm unsure if this is intentional to show the disorganization of the narrator's mind or if it's a small mistake made by the author. Either way I plan to keep an eye out for any future works by this author to see how they grow.
