Absolutely. I got the sense that my friend wasn’t ready for that level of darkness, so I focused more on the fraud, greed, and lies. I gave her a copy of my fairy tale (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/the-vapor-the-hot-hat-and-the-witches) as a gift, and she started reading it to herself. By the end, she seemed deflated, and all she could say was, “Dystopian.”
