I can feel the sizzle of anger and resentment. Interesting concept and great execution. I want to read more!

Thank you so much! If you fancy *a lot * more I've also been posting the first draft of a dystopian novella on my other Substack... https://machinesofthinkery.substack.com

'Silo' suffocation meets 'Twelve Monkeys' madness meets 'The Lobster' dystopia, with many a dark shade of Black Mirror grey. Nicely done.

Great story! I liked the slow drip of world-building and the interplay between the two quite different characters.

"a blacker black than black. The opposite of starlight" - fantastic bit of description, in a fantastic, tragic story. Highly dystopian, in the same way as The Handmaiden's Tale. Thanks for an engaging read.

Thank you so much 🙏 I was worried I’d gone a bit too dark (esp as my previous two stories were bitter sweet!)
