Agree as well. Thanks for entering!

Great job staying with a theme throughout! I like this a lot, yes, it is dark, but it is well-written also. You have my vote! If that even counts….LOL

This is lovely. It’s dark, and depressing a mite, but not in the “I’m-trying-to-be-depressing” sort of way that is all too prevalent. I like the third line especially.
