Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
A very compelling plot with very mediocre writing. I think this would have made a five star short story. Perhaps someday it will be adapted into a movie which can cut it down and pick up the pace, as it stands the dynamic plot and loveable characters of Noemà and Francis lift up flat writing into something enjoyable for speed readers.
Graphic: Body horror, Incest, Rape, Sexual violence
Minor: Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Physical abuse, Racism, Sexism, Forced institutionalization, Vomit, Kidnapping, Cannibalism, Medical trauma, Murder, Fire/Fire injury, Gaslighting
