It was very short and read almost like a science-fiction story. I couldn't help but keep thinking that while reading it. Each event, the set, the way the characters spoke were all exaggerated, yet rooted in mysterious realism.
I didn't even think that Sebastian might be gay, which is unusual for me, because I find a way to create subtext where there is none. I thought he just used people to get what he wanted and in the end that didn't work out for him. Karma's a bitch. And the exaggeration and the fantastic imagery mirrored the fantastic life he had created for himself. The plants were wild, untamed, beautiful, and dangerous.
