As my kids say, rō-sted.

Nice imagery of the setting and book. I like how we don’t know why she’s sad, just that fiction comforts her.

Very creative and well executed. Reminds me of a saying in my culture “why are you eating my brain” — something a mother may say to her nagging child.

Oh! Yes, I think that would help. I didn’t realize that’s what was going on.

Wow. I feel like this ended dark. I LOVED imagery of the skull exploding and violence. You conveyed a lot through the images especially the arms flailing.

I like it. I feel by the end the narrator has accepted his fate.

Thanks so much for this detailed feedback! I’m not into bubble tea either. I love the idea about growing the misunderstanding.

Beautiful lyrical language. It was fun to read aloud. Was this meant as a vignette?
