I suppose that the magic of writing is all of those words flitting carefree from head to page.

The craft of writing seems to be deleting all the ones that don't fit.

The horror of writing must be never knowing if what is left is pure garbage. 😀

It's the hope that kills us, but without it we are truly lost.

Nice snip 🔥
Mere moments before, someone walked out of that room and well, Kailis tale of Mrs and Mrs wasn't for naught. What has that minx Elara been up to? 😁

To be fair, none of this occurs at a moment of reasoned thinking for Elara.
Well Toren saw a thing he never wanted to see. Kaili sorts the whole thing out. Elara meets embarrassment. And the Rec is up to something...isn't it always? 😮

Sadly no space zombies, which makes me think that this story sucks and needs some 😂

She's not in love with being exposed to the endless void all alone. Luckily she has the crew on radio and The Rec driving the shuttle nearby. What could go wrong?
The mystery sadly doesn't last long. Now there is one with an unhappy ending! Funny enough, it's the bit I'm about to start writing. Elara is just on her way over - my first brief space walk of the book 😮
I wrote that post opening just for you 😀

The rebellion against the Rec went well, fraught of course, but ended well. But Rec is preoccupied and doesn't care because it is focused on....Thalassa! The sister ship of Tartarus. No running lights, dead in space....but why? 😮
Oh no! Toren! 🪦...is Kaili's new boss. And The Rec ain't got time for rebellions, busy busy!

This character is very nice...to certain people. The balance comes from others who he likes less ha.
That hug was long overdue. If it happened earlier, some chaos may have been avoided. 😬

Out of context pillow case ha. There is a scene before where another character throws her a pillow case to mop up tears. Apparently they don't have tissues in the future I've written ha.
Yeah for sure when your antagonist is just a level beyond. Not hung up on whatever your moral code is, they live by their own. No point trying to argue. Be stronger than they are, or get crushed.
Love that turn of phrase "as it is the right of fire to burn"

🔥🔥 Well played emotional appeal and shut down.
That would be great if you could. This story pricked my interest as soon as I read the concept.
Absolutely those things!

That is an awesome offer and one day if I ever finish this damn thing, I'd be incredibly delighted to take you up on it. I had to restart work, so progress is now in millimetres of page per week. It's horrible!
Oh absolutely nobody is safe. The entire situation is fraught with hazards and potential hazards.

It's true no ending is happy because that's the nature of mortality, but the story is about change.

For Toren, he is just as Toren at the beginning as he is at the end. (Never very bad, never evil)
Oh cool. Apologies. Is it available for a read somewhere?
Black Husk is a cool name!

I know that isn't much feedback, but 🔥🔥
Change dot org - "I petition the government to save Toren!"

I won't make any promises about anyone's fate, but I will say that they all get what they deserve at the end...which is also not true 😀

But what is an end but a chance for a new beginning? 😮
Ha ha. It's strange how different experiences go. When I met my wife I wanted to run away because I figured she was too pretty to look twice my way. Luckily for me she has bad taste 😁

If this story is something different, then you have adapted well. Can't wait for the whole thing.
As the light faded from his eyes...delete delete delete...

Sorry, what, I was just uh... 😀
Love how touching and subtle this is. Sometimes those unexpected meetings are like instant fire.

More generally I love the concept for this tale. It fits beautifully in one line while offering so much promise. 🔥
Damn! Feelings in words! Beautifully done. 🔥
