Yeah? Really can't tell. Yesterday I had a brief moment where I thought it was something special. Then I wasn't sure anymore. I left it alone for two months. Maybe it spoiled.
It didn’t spoil. Sometimes we can feel the magic happening, and sometimes we just feel a piece is a good, workmanlike effort. It’s how the readers feel that’s important. And there are no rules. You can revisit the idea in another story and try to say what YOU want it to say, or you can re-write this. But I think it works.
I always end up reading your stories with my writer hat on, so that I can try to learn a thing or two. Excellent, as always.
And see what mistakes to avoid, hopefully! Still not feeling it and the next bird is stuck-stuck-stuck!
You really slip into the skin of the character. It was tense.
Benefits of the first person POV. If I ever manage to creep you out, I’ll know I’m on the right track!
Breathless. A tremendous read. I love how you inhabit your characters.

Five-star writing, Ken. Loved it.
Thanks Jim. I did my best. But I can't help wondering how it might've turned out before all this. We're trucking, though. All that matters for now.
