Thoughts 🗣:
  * The main character was a bit sympathetic 
  * The unlikable/unreliable critique stands for everyone else but you aren't supposed to like them
  * This is an Amazon Original so it should be short. However, I wonder if the story could have been longer in order to add more suspense between the protagonist + antagonists. Or, could go beyond the ending to see the protagonist dealing with the aftermath and the authorities.
  * Scorpions don't really represent backstabbers like snakes do so doesn't really fit theme wise to me (they did see one in the desert though)
