This is a poem written for the Neo Twiny Jam in 500 words or less.

It's styled nicely, with a nonstandard font and a red and black theme.

The structure involves going back and forth between one major poem that slowly grows and smaller poems on the side.

There's some vague imagery of pain and slurs towards women. It's meant in service to overall narrative, but I wonder if the same point could have been achieved in a different way.

Or so Sartre says, in “No Exit”, the piece this entry is based on. In the play, three people are brought together to torture each other, including Inez, a woman who seduced her cousin’s wife and met her demise when the latter, filled with guilt, left the stove one while they slept (all this is referenced in the blurb/game).
Seemingly told from Inez’s perspective, this entry focuses on the burning love for a kept woman ended up burning her to the core. The entry sort of felt it was doing a one sided conversation with one of the other characters stuck with her…
A very interesting of a similarly poignant source!
