What a delightfully dusty and sharp-edged story. Like a rattlesnake with a wink. You’ve captured that shimmer between threat and belonging beautifully. It’s as if the desert itself is leaning in to eavesdrop. Can hardly wait to see what is next.

Hot diggity indeed! Friday just got a lot more interesting. Can’t wait to see where you take us next. I’ve got a feeling the desert still has a few secrets up its sleeve. Keep ‘em coming!

This is a great start! I love Elvis! First time I’ve ever said that lol but the goat has my heart. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds!

I love how poetic your style is! "Old hinges whined and the crash of the latch on the fence post sounded as the gate closed behind her and she called out." This line is so melodic to me. The overall tension of the piece is crafted beautifully as well. I'm excited to catch up 😊

Ahhh thank you! I do love this line too. It seemed so important to me to have that sound in there. It's kind of a cherished sound even if it's jarring.

Yes, I can hear the exact sound clearly in my mind when I read this. Absolutely brilliant!

Ahhh thank you. Graphic novel would be the best ever.

Although I already feel famous with everyone's kind words 🤍

Heat-warped, dust-heavy, and full of pause.

Waiting, quietly, for the next plume of dust.
