I love your first impression on this piece, and how you found so many threads of thought with what other writers saw.

I love your stories already so you know I'm eager to see what you unweave for us this time.  :taco: :dragon:

Dan! So glad to see you here. We've not interacted, I don't think, but we have several mutuals (Stephanie Sauvinet and Sarah Sover are some of my CPs, along with KJ Harrowick above, and I met Mike Mammay at AtomaCon last year.)

I love that you stalked others to get inspiration. I did that after I posted my initial impressions, and it helped drive me to some deeper reflections. I also get the feeling of isolation, of someone that doesn't want visitors.

I can't wait to see what different directions everyone takes it.

Thanks, Sara! I recognize you from Twitter and it seems we have several Kevin Bacon degrees in common. Glad to see a familiar name... I'm new here, after all.

I'm so glad to see you here! i love the thought process here, and how you riffed off of other people's musings too as you brainstormed. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
