This took me back to my youth; lost, unable to conform to any job, desperate to fit in, to succeed. That feeling is terrible, and you captured it perfectly. Well done.
Some people believe that fiction is false, not fact, and not true, and some, like Gaiman, believe that fiction is a "lie that tells the truth." But after reading this fantastic soul-stirring story, you proved that only in fiction can we find the "honest truth" that most of us, unfortunately, are denying in reality. Thank you 🙏
This was such lovely commentary to read this morning, Angel! I agree, this story is truthful, and it's a harsh truth—one that triggers even me! I've been subject to the reality that's influenced the writing of this story, along with everyone I know and love. In that way, it's universal horror, and I can think of nothing more terrifying than that. Thank you, as always, for your kind words!

Thank you! At 40, I still don't feel like I fit in with any "real job," but I do what I have to do.
Same.

"Can you please punch me in the face? Right here in the hallway, I don’t care. Just make sure you hit me hard enough to knock me out."
I imagined one of my superhero characters being asked this, and her responding: "ARE YOU CRAZY?"
🤣🤣🤣
That would be a proper response!
