I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. It's a great gift to be blessed with such creativity and vision. I now know that your muse is Divine.

WOW! I've had to sit for several moments just emotionally catching my breath and calming the tremors of emotion you literally pulled out of me with this! To be submerged in Deek's loss and then be lifted up with his hope... It was an EPIC ride and worth every tear shed! And I'm left with what feels like an endorphin laced sense of euphoria. Thank you for sharing this. It is wonderful!

Sarah, thank you so much! This is the kind of feedback every writer dreams of getting. I am so grateful that my words resonated in such a strong way with you. You've now seen into a corner of my heart, and I am so touched you found it worthy. XOXO

"worthy" is an understatement! I think what I experienced was akin to what people experience when they say they were "shook", but in the most amazing way possible.

I really want to share this with my nearly 20yo daughter, but I don't know if I can get her to join Substack. But I'm going to try, because I think she would LOVE this piece too. You guys share a genre in a way, but she expresses it through the visual arts and TTRPG character/world creation.

UPDATE: I let my daughter read it and she really enjoyed it 😊
