this story was impressively well told.
the negations,—‘Wings’, ‘No, you don’t have wings.’,—the second waking up, followed by a return to ‘reality’, the input box where… I actually thought I could put a name– where I chose neither a pseudonym, neither my legal name, but a name that I actually like, that feels like it actually encompasses my whole being– but where I found I name that I did not type… (did I make a typo? is this volunteer? let me try again…) where I found… where I found ‘Hannah’, the– my name… the ‘real’ name of the character whose narration I read. their– her– the wings are not real. yet, Hannah feels protected by him, by the angel; the angel protects her, but he is not an angel. perspective shifts(!) and he is concerned about her–and then here is Michael.
Michael has wings–and he is happy.
thank you for this gift that was waiting for me out of my sight.
going on More Than One, which links to So You Want to Write a Plural Character on Dragon’s Roost, which lists this game among ‘Media made by those with nonhuman and fictional identities’, was an interesting learning experience to be more able to describe thoughts from my self-discovery experience.
