Really enjoyable exploration of a cult and its aftermath. I think I found a continuity error (I don’t think the isolated members would know about the movie The Revenant?), and I would have liked to have known more about the “reckonings”, but otherwise, a quite fascinating what-if.

Prince is Stevie’s muse, to this day. I didn’t realize I needed to know that. Only makes me love her more.

I have read this brilliant and chilling short story before, but having known him, I had to hear the author read it to me. And it was marvelous. And the multi-layered last line still packs a punch.
