Okay y'all I have to apologize for putting this off for so long. Had a VERY crazy week, but oh man was this one a banger.
||- This may be the first time I saw emojis in a professional screenplay!

  • I won't lie it took a little bit long for me to get fully invested in it but once it started going I could not put it down! (Right at page 25)
  • The cheek biting thing was a weird detail but had a really cool payoff, especially with that last image.
  • I am a tad bit conflicted on the ending. on one hand it is pretty shocking and gives off a killer ending, but I was hoping they had a mutually assured destruction and held that against each other. I am not sure I would change it to that because it does come down to my personal taste.
  • I won't lie I thought it was pretty epic that the dog ended up eating Chris' fingers. Chekhov's dog! ||

Overall this one was pretty good, I would recommend it for sure!
