This is so real. It reads like a classic.

I had no idea I wasn't subscribed. I've corrected that. Fabulous story.

I want to say this again because you've suspected we're too overly kind. I don't comment often, and I don't say anything I don't mean. So believe me. You treat me as if I were your teacher, and reading this, I am rocked and humbled. This has a historical weight to it. Without hyperbole, I love your story.

Your opinion means the world. I've never seen you being overly kind on bad stories, so I’m hoping I’m not the first! Your take on its weight makes me happy. Grateful for that.

I love your perspective work, you give just enough for me to know there is so much more character, like their inner monologue could go on and on, but your narrators pov is limited enough that it makes their understanding of the events fragmented and dreamy. It feels like this could be in the middle, or beginning of a good book.

That's honestly one of the best compliments I've ever gotten. It's exactly what I was aiming for when I wrote it.

Thank you.
