Wow, this story made no-stop reading until the end. Everything was unexpected and unpredictable. Apart the excellent way of describing every feeling and surrounding, the background meaning of what it seems to be good is not good as it seems, and that sometimes, we don't see the price behind something we see or call “beauty”, “happiness” or “perfection”. I really like this phrase you wrote, “Because Utopia is a myth, perfection is truly impossible when pursued by mere men.” Great letters @surelyyoujesst, I really enjoyed reading this shot story. I like very much short stories because if you know how to do it you can resume a situation, an emotion, on just few paragraphs, and definitely you knew how to write this story.

Hope to read more from you. Keep writing and have a good time!
