I’d totally be throwing quotes around here, but truth is – I just read it and loved it! You have such a beautiful way of staging this minimal setting and turning a small, confined space into something that feels as wide as a landscape. I really loved the focus on Cleo and Rick and how everything unfolded so slowly and unobserved (well… except for those cameras on board, haha). The gentle way their connection developed, the conflicts, all the deep conversations – it was so well-paced and real.
I honestly still can’t believe you wrote this on your phone, commuting to and from work?! That’s just… MINDBLOWING. The story touches on so many topics I rarely see explored in fiction, and your writing always hits close to the bone. So much love for your story – it’s absolutely brilliant! 🧡
