Fascinating atmosphere

The atmosphere here is thick — cabin fever in every sentence. Beautifully bleak.

For you, I need to take a slow moment aside. You've set the scene so well - the applewood memory still burns. At the end of a dry well of words, the echo of truth hums and time answers to no one. Beautiful!!!

I was so 'embraced' by the applewood smoke - and then "eewww"! Thanks for the new nightmare. 💜

"Reality ceases when there are no more words.” What a powerful, terrifying sentiment. You captured that single, never-ending episode of sleep deprivation so well. The imagery of the golden, hammered bodies of those creatures will be stuck in my head all day.
