I liked it more when I thought it was about androids or something lol when I finally realized that it was a Creation/Bible allegory/parody/retelling, I let out a groan. (I'm literally stupid; I was so caught up in the dystopic side of things I didn't see the neighbor's names were actual animals 😭). But it was good, anyway. Also, the HOA contract is actually not dystopic, HOAs really be like that. Those rules are the real horror. I really liked that aspect of the story. We need more Homeowners Association based horror stories.
