I really like how you used Heartswood in this. Along with the very strong stylings, this was a joy to read.

Thanks! I must admit I hadn't fully thought it out. You are right, it counting down doesn't make much sense. I think the simplest explanation of it is that you go from being broken but still something, to being broken into nothing. Looking back, I would've used a word more like 'falling apart,' "decaying" maybe? Broken is very evocative though, and I couldn't find a similar word with the same power.
Missed the submission window probably because of mixing up my timezones, thought I had until tomorrow morning. Holy shit my life is a farce. Anyway, just so I can show it off: https://thehousealwaysfalls.itch.io/unfinished-hearts
