It's a beautiful, yet poignant story. That poor El.

It would make an epic quest, for someone to free her from time.

Or just one set of sympathetic eyes.

Good fiction.

Not enough Batman.

The logical structure of the story is a little nut*. Who, what, where, the time, powers, come from, how the power work, and why the sudden jump into a everyday life rather than gradual. But those are perfectly normal. It is a good nutty* story.

*Nut, things that make little to no sense but only in a good way.

** You are nuts but I am not. I am simply brilliant, genius, smart, intelligence, high abstract I.Q --

Yeah, it is a good story, nuff said.

Well, it’s a flash fiction, I don’t have the strength for a whole short story now. Nuts? Because I just let it flow. No plot or plan. I think it has potential, because I can figure out the answers to all those questions, but…not today, not now. Too many projects, too little time.

Anyway, thank you.🩶

This sounds like the beginning of something. A problem so painful it has to be solved. Could be epic. 🧐

Thank you… I have so many unfinished/potential projects, might as well add this one to the pile.😂

Might as well. Lol 😄 I’m the same. Too many stories, not enough time.

Anger. Grief. Hardship. Sadness. Suffering.

All of them peppered with moments of reprieve spent in the company of the beloved. I know you challenged me with the line last week, but I feel this fits as an exploration of the idea of living between beauty and the pain better than my story was. Superbly done.

It's like standing on the edge of a pool before you dive in - not quite knowing what it will be like when you're in there. I see from your posts there is more, I shal go off now to hear what they are being about.

And I wrote a little piece too, recently, about a witch.

(If fate means we have penises, of course, we are not called witches, even when we are really.)
