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.

@tehuan thank you so much! :D

oh i adore this!! your writing is so visual and flows so beautifully! i kept getting stuck on every line and wanting to live in it.

I love the hope that comes through in this piece, the idea that absence can symbolise not only what was lost but also what can be gained in its place - at least, that's what I got from it. I especially like the final line!

@grlrot Thank you so much. I am sure Charlize would greatly appreciate that compliment - it's a beautiful way to phrase that sentiment, too! - Efir

@ryo Yes, that is what Charlize intended to write into this piece - the absence of fear, of fury, of hatred, manifesting as the love that fills the empty space. Thank you so much for your compliments! - Efir

this was such a beautiful piece, ty for sharing :] i loooove the anaphora

this was very beautiful!! thank you for sharing and we hope it all feels a little lighter sometimes,

this is such a raw and honest poem, and a very well-crafted one at that. It's almost like I can feel the weight of their absence myself, great job and hope you're doing well!

this was very beautiful and very sad!!! i think about this sort of thing a lot too.. - charlize

incredible poem, and very bittersweet - it speaks to absence in the purest sense of the word, as something immaterial that lingers in the ether. I like it a lot!

i ADOREEEE this poem so much oh my god, this is such a creative way to format

@caesthoffe thank you so much hehe!!! i got inspired by a writing workshop i went to :3

absolutely adore the format, I think you captured perfectly how haunting digital ghosts can feel. really resonate with the part about 'personality in bite-sized pieces'!

@ryo Thank you so much! We are glad you like it, J felt pretty clever about that line, ahaha! - Efir

thanks for sharing this with us!! it is really nice to hear that your travel anxiety no longer remains !

what a beautiful reflection, and a very interesting interpretation of the prompt!
