#keeping two

Sort of like nails on a chalkboard, but not in an altogether off putting way. A robust story built out of the feeling of waiting for a loved one who is arriving home later than expected and beginning to worry about them. This is built out on either side by a bit of intro where in we learn our leading couple is utterly insufferable, incapable of doing anything without bickering like children, and get introduced to a story within the story about another insufferable, bickering couple who's relationship is falling apart after a miscarriage and a conclusion that takes this paranoia and helpless fear to an emotional extreme, from which effective Pathos is found. If it sounds like I'm frustrated with these characters it's because I am, but I shouldn't be too hard on it. As the fear of the one left waiting at home builds, and as things progress beyond all that, I found myself right along with them, despite their prior obnoxiousness. It's well illustrated, in an understated and simple way. Consistent. While I bounced off some elements of the writing, it's still an undeniably strong swing, that's patient with the presentation of its ideas and creative in its form.
