Bit conflicted on this one. On one hand, some of the narration feels quite bare-bones and almost reminiscent of parody:
I am bored of the job. I want to quit and propose to a woman I am attracted to.
On the other, this has some heart-wrenching moments like the last log:
I skip stones across the river.
I braid her hair in between my fingers.
I meet my parents from out of town. I tell them I love them.
There are a few other nitpicks, like minor spag errors and the image in the collapsible, which I struggle with taking seriously because it looks like a black and white edit of that one meme. The Eye of Argos connection also feels contrived and more of a vehicle to justify the connection of this entity to the Backrooms. Overall, I'm leaning towards a downvote, though I appreciate the story that's being told here.
