Thank you, Andrea! Initially I gave her a more masculine sounding alternate name, but then figured the story was already strange enough. 🤣

Happy New Year to you and your family as well! I hope it’s a smoother one than 2021 for all of us.

I followed your link to this delightful story. Glad I did. One hundred words was exactly enough. Very clever. Reminded me a little of my "Claudia at the Bookshop" story and what happened behind the curtain. I love the idea of other worlds, other dimensions - with no explanation.

I’m happy you had a chance to read it, Sharron. I enjoyed writing this one a lot. Yes, it’s very similar to your “Claudia” story! I love stories with these themes and concepts in mind. I’m feeling the pull to write another soon! 😄

You write in a way that makes us think! I need to work on that aspect of my writing when I get back to it. Good job, Justin!
