I find myself waiting for each new story.

At first, I pictured you as the main character moving through the streets of Japan. This effect was highlighted by the extremely cool photos of real places. Way to weave worlds together Macy!

I had a paradigm shift when I realized who the POV character was. As a father, that struck close to home in many ways, and I found myself moving from 'observer' of someone else's story to 'participant.'

Here's an awesome line: "The lies tasted sweet as I spoke them but bitter when I finished." That's the good stuff, and why I am waiting for your next one.

Hi Timothy! Thank you for the encouragement. I'm really touched that you look forward to my stories. Tbh, I publish each story with bated breath, wondering what the open rate will look like, how much engagement it'll receive, etc. Your feedback reminds me that I don't write for stats, but for real people with real emotional responses to my words. Even if my stories only reach a handful of people each week, I'm grateful. Thank you for reading my stuff (even the super duper long ones, hah) and always sharing your thoughts. The journey doesn't feel so lonely when I have readers like you by my side. :)
