Loved this multi layered story. Unexpected , original, unconventional. Lots of creative inspiration here and unnerving too. Thank you for writing and submitting.

Woah! I love to write to Vivaldi, the words come out faster than I can write. I love that it starts out as horror (almost horror adjacent as nothing is ever really seen) and then goes totally Dark Fae.

So much complexity in such a short space! Mysterious also. The shifting of time periods and perspectives gives readers a lot of clues but are also amenable to many different interpretations.

This was such a fascinating read! The moody, Gothic tone was AMAZING, and you wove the news articles and podcast clip in so seamlessly that at times it felt like I was watching an artistic film!

An incredible compliment - thank you! I started out with Don Giovanni, and a story from a footnote in a novel I love, and the bag became more and more mixed the more I wrote, until the ideas were running out my ears at the end... thank goodness for that word limit, is all I can say. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
