I'm a little nervous to go back and read Part I, tbh. Kinda have a feeling it's gonna wreck me. OK, deep breath, here I go.

Part I is I think the hardest to go through, because of the emotional density and no light. It’s pitch black. 🖤🖤🖤

If you read part II, you can go for part III 😉

Man… trauma is crazy…

I gave them the happy ending which had like… hmmm… 0.1% chance? 💔

More like 0.00001%

True 😭😭😭

Damn! You pulled me in.

Night Cracks's avatar

Did I? 😭😭😭 I’m afraid you might be past the point of no return then…

Did you start with Part III, though?

You should’ve eased in with my hoetry/poetry, not go straight for the heavy artillery 🤣

Just in case you want to go back to the tutorial:

“They took care of her crooked teeth first.”

Hahaha!

Fucked up story with a happy ending. I did want trauma story from the man as well but, I’ll take it, let the reader decide.

It was well written, engaging with dark humour and flowy, dramatic descriptions.

A message of healing, love and kept the intent of the “violence of softness”

Very entertaining 3 part!

Glad you liked it, Gub! 🖤🖤🖤

We all deserve a happy ending time to time, don't we?

Thanks for reading and reaching out!

I love this!!! 😍

Did you enjoy the ending? :)

Thank you, Fiona. 🖤🖤🖤

Fiona Bridges's avatar

I did!

Night Cracks's avatar

I’m not a big fan of happy endings (at least as per writing), but I vomited so much darkness before it, that this time I guess it felt deserved?

Fiona Bridges's avatar

I like that you gave them a happy ending despite EVERYTHING being against them. I want that for my marriage! 😍 😂

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Thanks, Leo!

If I were you I would start with my hoetry/poetry though, not the third part of my only fiction 🤣🤣🤣

Check this one out, bud:
