Hi @negativer. I have read this story several times now, but I wanted to find time to write a thoughtful response.
Your writing voice is amazing. And your storytelling ability blows me away. I was so captivated by the way you wove the details together, developed the characters, built the conflict, and brought it to a final devastating conclusion.
This is masterfully done. It paints a picture of what can happen when a few in power control the masses. Yet it is told meaningfully, within the microcosm of a frazzled family unit, where tensions are rising and a fundamental ideological disagreement is at play.
In short, this story is a well-crafted parable, and a stunning illustration of the power of great storytelling.
Ah, it's so encouraging to hear you say something like this, knowing your skillset and how much I enjoy reading your stories as well.
I did want to make a statement about big banks and money without it sounding too preachy, with a small view into how it all affects the innocent.
My thanks for reading and for the uplifting comment, @jayna!
It is well-deserved! 😊
Dang!!! That was deep, very disturbing but also excellently written. So many thoughts were going through my mind as I read about the challenges along their journey. Is this one of the possible futures of crypto currency?
The mark of the beast, no privacy, total control? . . .I need a drink.
There are a couple levels in here, you're right. The possible dark future of crypto, tracking, lack of privacy, banks with ultimate power...it's a scary future if so!
Thanks for reading!
You're gonna blow her hand off with a shotgun?!?
One has to use the tools one has. 😬
...at hand?
Ha! I gotta hand it to you for that one.
Just excellent, @negativer! This could be a movie.
Ooo, I like the sound of that :) Thanks for reading!
