Given the effects the COVID pandemic has had on the elderly population in the past year and a half, especially in nursing homes and the like, a story like this is timely to say the least. But, I was not a fan of the story itself. I found it Hwee Bin's narrative much too mundane and a little confusing at times.

Kirpal being an executioner was an interesting "twist," but at the same time very out-of-place. I assume Heng was going for irony here, which did come across well, but it also felt too intentional to me.
