I loved this and I so hope there's more! I haven't spent much time in the short-story section of substack and I'm so excited I found you from Gary Brogan. I love the feel of this world. I look forward to exploring the rest of the Atlas

I'm also happy you found my work through @Gaby Brogan. Her work is incredible, so if she has mentioned me somewhere, I feel super grateful.

You’re in her recommended subs!

I am amazed. Literally saw this and had to reach out to her to say thanks. Quite why Substack decided to not tell me about this is beyond me 😅

That's really cool! Thank you. I am hoping there will be more of this too. At first, this story was a writing prompt challenge that ended up being really fun. A sort of pass the parcel challenge where the next chapter is handled by someone else with a new set of prompts. Unfortunately, no one entered last time, so if that happens again, I might see if I can keep going with it.

It has surprised me too. I'm curious to see where this goes as much as anyone else, what with it being a mostly unplanned writing exercise.
