Abstract: In a world fraught with external threats, a divorced mother grapples with growing unease—toward her fourteen-year-old son, who has begun to eerily resemble her violent brother, as well as toward her own judgment, which begins to come into question when she gives in to her son’s demands to move into their shed. As the story unfolds, the line between reality and perception blurs, leaving the mother with an unsettling sense of uncertainty.
