Totally immersive and very thought provoking.This story was jam packed full of wonderment as we follow the MC struggle with her inner demons. This is a story of internal struggle, outward perceptions and finding peace.I really appreciated the writing in this short. It immediately captivated me and the questions further conversation about the moral of not judging.
Fear Nothing, but Fear Itself.Verity is afraid, so afraid that she is waking during the night feeling afraid..What is she afraid of? What is making her so fearful? Is the fear spreading? Is the whole village in fear?Five fabulous stars. ✨✨✨✨✨
