This would be funny if its implications weren't so terrifying. Especially the expression "Dickensian Hellscape." I thought their choices of what things to emphasize were interesting: that there are no birds; that there is snow. They're such gentle details that they're not at all what I expected to be used for this kind of manipulation.
