Not everyone shines, but the steady darkness can be a comfort just as much as the person within it.

Wow, this story is so short yet it hit me right in the feels. I love how it starts so lighthearted yet underneath there is something deeper and darker but hopeful at the same time. Great stuff!

Still thinking about this post. Like I didn't write a story about a JANITOR perpetually stuck at work in liminal space, never seeing his family, watching the jet set hurry elsewhere, and only a sliver of love keeps him tethered to time...for a reason*
