I don't appreciate writing that "tells" me what is developing, rather than actually developing - and, unfortunately, this is such a piece. I also just didn't have any investment in the characters, and nothing at all was resolved in any way. I don't mind open ended endings, in fact I'm often disappointed when a story is too neatly wrapped up in the end - but this brought up all sorts of complex plot points and relationships, and then simply did nothing with them. I think the author was probably going for the sort of (non) "endings" that Poe himself did in his stories, being that he is one of the main characters... But he simply didn't achieve that.
