Well this was an interesting gem. I nearly didn't see it, but definitely love the aesthetic and the world you built. Even if it's a dream. It's short, but to the point, and didn't overstay it's welcome. Not too shabby.  

Short but intriguing. Hope to see more in this creepy universe. Sărbători fericite! :)
