He’s into vore, she’s into centaurs (like, sexually). A dark comedy set in the isolating landscape of human relationships, and neighboring small towns on the Oregon coast.

    The tension at the dinner party’s oh-so-good! Then the “in their own world” section is icing. Fantastic details populate this script of longing.

    I think we can all relate to this piece vore and centaurs aside. The aching need to be seen and known by someone else and the desperate struggle to hold on to anyone who you think could fill the role, even if they aren’t the right person. Roblan’s piece is funny and strange amid the terrible familarity.

The ending is satisfying, melancholy, truthful, and human.
