There's a stark immediacy to this writing. I love the reminder of connection, that even in her solitude she is never really alone: first, it seemed to me, with her own inner life for company ("Alone with her feelings, alone with her thoughts. Not really alone at all."), then with somebody who loves her enough to carry her to bed when she falls asleep on the floor.
Beautiful, minimalist writing and a seemingly simple story that actually works on multiple levels. Really nice piece @ellievallie :)
Thank you for understanding everything I was trying to say with this piece.
