I agree that when you lose somebody you will of course miss them after. However, your original comment was slightly out of place as the story does not deal with loss of any kind. In fact the whole entry revolves around gaining things and the image attached is one of the main character’s sister sending what is essentially a “Christmas card” but the 2050 version which I imagined into an “ornamentogram”. With this story I specifically wrote it with the idea in mind of putting happy thoughts into the world and showing that no matter the time period, in the past present or future, there’s always a sense of wonder and excitement to be found by a younger person during the holiday season. Specifically Christmas.
Thank you for your contribution to the discussion. I’m always glad when people interact with my stories. I just wanted to make sure you understood why I was so confused by your original comment.
