I love it!! Whether we, as individuals, must overcome those who would take advantage of us or overcome our own negative outlooks, we can do it!! I am sure they succeed and it is those elements of hope and power that I am left with. Great story!
Oh my gosh! I have only found the replies on this story while unlocking paid posts. I'm so sorry to not have responded for months. Thank you so much, Laura.
I loved this, Dascha. What a neat concept. I honestly have no idea where many of my darker story ideas come from. I do wonder though. We collectively see and hear about evil on the daily, so maybe it’s our way of subconsciously combatting its existence?
Years ago I shared a short story with a friend (easily the weirdest and darkest I’ve ever written), and it frightened her to the point where she asked if everything was okay.
I don’t think I’ll be sharing that one anytime soon. 😅
I think we all have a shadow side. Art allows us to explore that shadow side and use it in a positive way. I loved this story. I have a space fantasy novel I started and then quit, and this has be wanting to get back into it sooner rather than later.

My apologies, Justin. I only found these post replies while unlocking paid posts.
Thanks for your thoughts on where these stories come from. It certainly seems plausible. And now you have me wanting to read that story!
No worries whatsoever, Dascha!
