I know exactly what you mean! I've been living it for a couple years now. It takes someone very important to you to die to trigger that kind of reality.
I have never read Paromo, I'll see if my library has it. Thanks for the suggestion, it sounds like my kind of book. I love 100 years of solitude and reread it periodically.
I sure look forward to your short story! Try to tag me, or let me know you've written it somehow. I don't want to miss it.
It's still just a concept. Very ethereal. I'll keep thinking about how to do it.
I wrote it... It's published xx
