I enjoyed how you brought out the deeper questions beneath the story, letting the old legends resonate with the present. Thank you for this engaging piece.
This is one of the most devastating pieces of writing I've encountered because it refuses all the consolations we typically allow ourselves. (I mean that as a compliment, the restraint is purposeful and beautiful in the execution it was intended.)
This is not just about parenting. This is about how we protect ourselves by making others like us. How reasonable people do unreasonable damage. How a name chosen for its sound becomes a prophecy fulfilled by the very person trying to prevent it. It's extraordinary! Thankyou.
The way you bring the old to the new is astonishing. You can see the care in each sentence. You can feel the faith in them. It was not what I expected when I opened it. And I'm glad. Beautifully done. Bravo Zulu!

Thank you so much Sunshine, Mytho-refactoring still working in my mind even after publishing. Glad you noticed it.
You're a writer-magician.
Cause-and-effect woven into a story so organically that it makes a nest within.
Wow.
thank you Nina, but I am not
this is just internal visual description
Reads like someone who’s almost too self-aware about their childhood trauma. Written with the full shebang, as always.
too aware MoTy, deeply investigate and placed into DMZ

Thank you Raven,
Mytho-refactoring works
This one left mark. The depth in this was so beautifully navigated!
