Fenner had been an attendant at Four Fourty-Four for exactly thirteen hours now (which is a polite way to say that he had made tea once), and in that time, he had already been nearly strangled by a lantern (two, if he counted the ivy plant currently going through an existential crisis), hunted by a teapot, and aggressively challenged to at least a hundred duels by a tiny clay knight.
Thank you so much, you have no idea how much your words stick with me 💛 I write very slow, so there’s a lot of editing involved but I’m so happy to read all the work is worth it in the end 🥹
I AM A FIRM BELIEVER in what you once said—that stories come to you when they’re meant to. Or something to that effect; I hope I didn’t butcher it. Anyway, I say this because I first saw this story the moment it landed in my inbox, but when I opened it, something told me, not now. And the same thing happened yesterday. And today.
Man, I truly believe writers are secretly God’s little prophets for the rest of humanity, because how did this story manage to perfectly encapsulate my relationship with my brother? I needed to hear what you said here.
Your publication is by far my favorite comfort place in this void we call the internet. Thank you for writing this, and thank you for not ending it on a heavy note—it made me laugh at the beginning, and it made me laugh and smile again at the end. Thank you 🫶🫶🫶
Oh they absolutely do, stories have their own little way to know where to go.
Have a big hug, as an elder sister with the very same relationship to her brother, writing this one got me a little emotional at times. It’s funny how a story shapes itself, even when you plotted it out to be something entirely else.
I am absolutely honoured and speechless to read that Quiet Little Journeys is one of your favourite comfort places for you, just absolutely struck by awe right now. Thank you so much for such a high compliment.
I’m glad it made you laugh! Life is hard enough as it is
Again, you’ve created such a vivid painting . And those conversations were like a deep therapy session with themes of letting go and making peace. I loved very moment.
Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it. It is indeed very calming to me too while I write about certain themes. I’m awed you chose to spend some time with this short story 💐
Thank you so much for spending some of your time in my little writing corner. They do have their own little stories, that’s very true! It’s a lot of fun to write
I feel her right in my soul. The guilt, the pain, the questions. Your ability to tell these stories and get under the skin is unmatched.
Thank you so much, you have no idea how much your words stick with me 💛 I write very slow, so there’s a lot of editing involved but I’m so happy to read all the work is worth it in the end 🥹
