This is freaking great. I once wrote a similar story, only it was a novel. And I was 18. Needless to say, this is sooooo much better. Thank you for sharing!
Ooh, lovely praise! Thanks a lot, Brian! My wife said that this one was a bit too clinical, and I can see how that’s so. But I think there’s still lots to love about it.
I would say it might be melancholy, but there is still hope at the end. It's good to stretch ourselves in that respect, to try a different tone or voice. We never know what will connect with readers.
I love the magical realism in this story breaking away into the ethereal. The lines "I’m here now, he thinks, finding the mark with his mouth, and I’ll never leave again. This he says out loud." particularly resonate with their potency and heart.
Sweet story with a deeper message, Andrei. "They soar." Yes! As the bumper sticker says, Just Do It!
PS. You have added photos and teasers for three more of your stories in this post. Could you tell me, please, how this "embedding" is done? I don't know which "buttons" to push. Thank you.
Hey, Sharron! I’m glad you enjoyed it. And as for the embedding, you just copy the link to the post you want to link and paste it in the new post. That’ll create an embed you can customize (you can choose between small, medium, and large, plus the word sample that shows up in the preview). It’s really simple, just a matter of copy and paste!
Hooray! Thanks so much Andrei for this lesson! So helpful. I will read your other three micros this afternoon. Trying to catch up - you know how it is...
I liked very much this story! Reading your writings always make me think. Your stories are very thouching and thoughful. Happy weekend!
🤓😍🥰🥳 thanks a lot, as always, for reading!
Great, Andrei. I got the inkling in the first few lines, but it was really good to read this play out.
Especially loved this: "Angels don’t fall in love. They’re creatures of the sky, purer than any human and complete in themselves."
(PS sorry late on this one. Got buried in my inbox and didn't see it.)
No problemo, friend. I’m a bit late on your latest, too. Thanks for the kind words!

:o thank you for the feedback, Paige! 🤗
There is a deepness to this one, Andrei, with complex layers and several stories in one. Excellent work!

Agreed. This is a big part of making writing fun in the long run.

😍 appreciate it a lot, Nadia!
