Responded to the brief encounters prompt- fair warning that this is a heavy one, but it's a story I keep telling because it gives me hope that it happened at all. There are some good people out there, folks! https://owlsroost.xyz/muse.html#monkey

Just finished the last two prompts: evolution (https://owlsroost.xyz/muse.html#evolve) and trace elements (https://owlsroost.xyz/muse.html#trace). Somehow they both wound up being about growing up and nostalgia.

That was a lovely story, thank you for sharing it :)
this is such a well-written yet raw piece - I definitely recognise the long-gone pattern of intrusive thoughts. I also really appreciate the advice at the beginning and at the end, it's all so very thoughtful. thank you so much for sharing!
this is a really good piece, and i am really happy that you had gabriel in your life for that brief encounter. we've struggled with suicidality too, your piece really captures that thought pattern well. my sister's bf is called gabriel, maybe good people are just called that... - j
ok this made me cry (tho ive fortunately not had to deal w such thoughts, but simply seem to be slipping into some rough patch these past couple days that im tryin to handle ok enough)
