Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I’m glad I was able to make you feel something. That’s the whole point of writing, I think, to somehow transcend the page and communicate something, like a special feeling, that is normally hard to convey. Regarding the fictionality of the story, since this happened more than 20 years ago, some liberties were taken with the details, of course, but the key events explicitly happened.

just published the fourth chapter. the manuscript is now 98 pages long.

thanks! i actually recorded an audio version of this yesterday (if you’re interested): funkwhale.it/library/tracks/17487

this was interesting. dark ending, which i appreciate. was it a nuclear bomb? (i guess that would be giving it away, huh?)

i have changed some bits of both chapters already, actually. but it was merely grammatical stuff. i do very extensive editing before i post a chapter, which is part of the reason it takes me so long to release new chapters. i do have a slight fear of “getting stuck” because i committed to a certain plot point or character quirk in an earlier chapter (and i don’t plan to make changes of this nature retroactively), so that i’m sorta bound by what i have already released, which is an interesting limitation to say the least.
