beautifully written, and horribly gut-wrenching. your writing is always extremely impressive, and I can only wish you the absolute best for all the life you do get to live - thank you for choosing to spend a little bit of that time sharing your art with us, truly.

Thankfully, I get more than ten years to live if this diagnosis gets confirmed. I just won't be able to work or live independently for as long as I'd hoped for.

your writing is so beautiful and moving, and absolutely devastating. the hope that runs through it is so powerful despite how terrible the circumstances are. please keep that hope alive, and stay safe. thank you for sharing your writing! - j

The part where you're looking up at your body at thinking it isn't you yet it's still responsible for much of what you experience in life is very relatable and saddening to me as someone with chronic illnesses. Thanks for sharing and I hope you keep doing your best with the body you've got.

really sorry for your loss. I appreciate you writing about the transition period where the wound is healing but the scar is still staring back, I think you did it and your pet justice. hope you're okay!

i'm really sorry for your loss! as ryo said, your writing conveys that transitive grieving period very well, and i'm tearing up from reading it. please take care of yourself! - j

thank you for sharing this, I can really feel the imprint that your grandmother left in that space - I don't think the departed's spaces could ever not be theirs anymore, and I believe you put that into words beautifully. hope you're doing well!

i can definitely relate to this one, and i hope you're doing alright! your writing is very sincere and bittersweet, so thank you so much for sharing it! - j

I really like how you format your pieces, and I love how visceral and uncompromising the writing is in this one - I think it paints the picture perfectly, your choice of words is very apt!

I really enjoyed reading it - I love your interpretation of the prompt, and it's so grotesque in a beautiful way. - Efir

damn, your writing is so intense and clear and… has this arresting presence that demands a reader’s full attention. it’s beautiful and cool!

such a powerful piece in its brevity, every single piece of imagery you built is so beautiful and haunting!

thank you both so much!!! i often worry that I'm trying to condense too many things into really short texts so I'm really glad it worked!!!!

"maybe when you're done there won't be enough of you left to feel the loss." is such a powerful line. Agreed that the brevity of this piece adds to the impact- it doesn't have to be long to hit like a truck. Well done.
