    It was really, really good. And what’s this “gothic challenge” you speak of. nvm. I can’t write Gothic anyway. lol

Celia! This is soooo good! I’m not sure if you realize what you have here. If you wanted, I think you could treat this little short story as an outline and turn it into a full blown novel. I think it has huge potential.

  Aw Kenny thank youi so much, seriously coming from you…you’ve made my day! 🤍

  Sorry pressed enter and wasn’t done…the concept of a life in a list is so clever and has a real poignancy about it 🤍

    Thanks for reading Celia!
River Joy replied 1 year, 11 months ago

This was such a unique way of presenting this, I love how little real life moments are woven into the grocery list. It’s a lovely little window into the voice’s life.
