This was definitely an interesting short story and one I was not expecting. I personally found it hard to get into and was surprised to find out just how weird it kinda was in a way. The short story itself is basically a love tale but more referring to both the moon and the earth and the main character and their cousin involved with it. Sitting down and trying to munch through this short story was difficult for me because I just found how the writing came across as overly verbose and almost as if the author was trying to write a slam poem yet intertwined with a story. Honestly, I didn't enjoy it. then again I like the concept of it and the main rudimentary idea in a story of when you have something you cannot appreciate it as when it leaves. I think that rains true in real life and not just in the works of fiction. I am not sure either because if I am not mistaken the author is Italian so knowing the culture I can definitely understand why he chose to make a love story of sorts about this. Overall it is a quick 9 page read that should have taken me a mear 10 minutes to read ended up turning into a whopping 40 minute read with 10 Minutes digesting what I just read and deciphering it. I liked the concept I just think it could have been done better and perhaps in the genre now, has been.
