I absolutely loved this, the format, the wording, how so little needed to be said for three elaborate stories to be told all at once. You've inspired me to get a whole lot more creative!

I legitimately jumped a little when I read this comment - Thank you 🙏🏻

And you’ve actually inspired me to keep going with the fiction (it wasn't planned at all, I just couldn't help myself)

When you can't help yourself, you know you're onto something good. I'm looking forward to that fiction of yours :)

Nicely done, I wanted more, but I guess that is the aim of a skilfully written story after all! Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you! 🙏🏻 That is the aim, for sure!

But it is a valid point - I tend to not let a piece or story stay a sentence longer than it needs to (I’m the same way when I make music, 97% is just 8 bars repeating themselves - just the core idea).

It can be powerful, but this just makes me want to publish a 15min read post in the future!

We all should try flopping every now and then, right? 😅
