i loved this. there is no grand tragedy here, just a man having the worst week of his life while the universe keeps insisting everything is fine. the suffering queues politely and waits its turn. properly grimdark. great work.

Thanks so much! When I saw the prompt for “Impossible”, I originally wanted to do some epic piece about lovers escaping the Kingdom of Angels, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that impossible odds are faced less by those with the ability to fight, and more by the everyday people struggling to find a scrap to eat. It looks impossible to survive some of the conditions people live in daily, and that’s what I felt inspired to write about.
Looking forward to checking out your story!
