Epilogue

[estelle]

Her great-grandmére had spoken about the old time a lot. About the old planet. Her eyes always seemed to stare into the distance as she spoke about a childhood in the countryside. About playing hide and seek in the small forest behind her house and about the other children that lived in the neighbourhood

I like this a lot!

Thank you!

You manage to pack quite a bit of storytelling into a short story. Well done!

[estelle]

Thank you so much! It is probably the idol entry I am proudest of to date. And I hope I can grow further during the competition.

I can't wait for the next chapter!

[estelle]

I really wanted to continue with the next prompt but my characters all bailed when I presented them with the topic. So I wrote something else...

I like how you revealed your society and setting so delicately through the death of the great-grandmother. It gave your story an almost intimate quality.

[estelle]

Thank you so much. I was hoping to achieve that!

Ooooh, this is good! The last line really clenches it. Poor realist grand-mere. Poor Luna.

Thank you so much! Remember though, they are the lucky ones!
