I love writing my world into stories. It gives me something real to anchor my imagination - especially when it swings wildly from my own life.

This story is heartbreaking. There is so much sorrow in the silence. What a perfect example of economy in expression.

Thank you so much :) Yeah rather than filling it with dialogue, I wanted to kind of let the silence balloon so we could focus on how they’re feeling. I’m so glad that came through!
