My God, I've found it. My hands tremble. I just know I'm going to break it, so I put it back down, gently. Breathe. Breathe. I fumble around it for the switch, and then... CLICK. In an instant, I witness the big bang. I'm blind. Immediately, I flip the switch, but it's too late; the damage has been done. My head aches and all I can see is a blue-green ghost wherever I turn my eyes. Dammit.
Oops, sorry I'm just now seeing this months later! I definitely am inspired by the substack medium so I think I'm going to start posting them. I'm still working on the same two short stories, trying to move past writer's block honestly.
We are cursed. bc he definitely finished them but won’t let me look at them. I will! I am still figuring out how substack works but once I do I hope you read it!
I enjoyed how the story presents a dilemma we face in life in a unique context to challenge us in how we live.
Thanks. I didn’t know if I would make the same decision at the end, but I want to believe that I could.
This gave me a modern Kafkaesque type vibe!
Thank you so much! I hope the up ending makes it less depressing though haha
How are your short stories coming along?

lol. Sounds like a Pace family problem. Farrar still owes me his short stories he claimed he would finish back in July
Just publish them. All my essays are only 50% complete. And no one really cares anyways

Send me one of your short stories!
You kept me reading until the end. Works great as a short story, but you also left me wanting more! I agree wit h Diane, that's a very good dilemma.
Haha thanks. I thought about turning it into a series. Maybe I will at some point. I appreciate your feedback so much
Got me on the edge of my seat! I love the dilemma of risking his life to be with another person or stay safe ALONE with all of his stuff.
Thank you! It was fun to write
