I admire the analogies and keep loving the flow of the story intrigued of the characters and the place they inhabit. I am even thinking of writing my own shadow walkers story, but am still unsure where to start.
Also, quotes like "I was ashamed of myself when I realized life was a costume party, and I attended with my real face," and "the stitched ones, however, are deaf to the truth of the words spoken by them" resonate deeply with things I have felt or thought, but could have never put down in such clear and concise words. Thanks for sharing and keep writing! 🌻
