What a well written short story. I previously read The Ten Thousand Doors of January and enjoyed it so I thought I would give this story a try and I’m glad I did. It was powerful, dark, and sad, yet hopeful. This short story made me want to read more by this author.

I have high expectations for Alix E. Harrow's work that should be pretty impossible to exceed, but here we are, wailing after reading this three times in 24 hours 😢
