I listened to the free audio version of this story on Serial Box, narrated by Xe Sands. I really liked it. It's creepy throughout, with some truly disturbing moments. It's such a short story, yet the main character is so easy to relate to, without seeming like she belongs in our world or any other specific time & place. My guess is that it's meant to be set in the far future, following an ecological apocalypse, and after our current society has completely collapsed, to the point where no one remembers us at all. It comes across as a story about humans, rather than aliens or fantasy creatures. But I don't know that for sure; there's a lot of ambiguity, and the Gods are definitely supernatural.
A lot of the reviewers here seem to think this story will continue, and maybe it will. But whether this is meant to stand alone or not, I feel that it does, although there is a lot left to the imagination. I'm so glad I listened to it.
