i have no words. this is brilliant, it should have been published. you captured the idea of intergenerational trauma perfectly, i got it from just the essence of the work. lovely metaphors and images, especially “the sun melting like butter.” i can relate to this as someone who grew up in a troubled country. the things you see (and fear) in childhood stay with you forever, no matter how comfortable and calm your life is now as an adult. great, great writing!
Beautifully woven enigmatic tale. With every line, I could feel a throb of curiosity. This short story actually carries the essence of a hefty novel.
