Thanks so much, Scoot! This story was a little outside my stomping ground, so I’m glad it worked out!

Powerful images here, I love it. That mental picture toward the end of the story - what’s making the scratching - that’s going to stay with me in both a good and bad way lol

Awesome to hear! This story went through a number of iterations, but that was the first kind of sticking point in my imagination was that image.

This is so well written. The imagery of your writing really dragged me in and wouldn’t let go until the end. I love this sad and terrifying tale.

Thanks so much, Troy! I wrote this one a few years ago, and it was my first time wrestling with a radically subjective viewpoint in my writing, fun but challenging. So happy to hear it turned out, and very grateful for gracious readers like you!
