You completely did justice to the prompt. You used the word “shadows” figuratively and even literally in so many contexts. I like the narrative voice. People tend to view people that keep to themselves and keep out of trouble as boring, but with your story, it’s evident that most of them aren’t because our main character is so interesting. Reading about what she thinks of people and things that have happened, you can tell she’s a fun person. Only if her mates know. Honestly, it was fun being able to hear her thoughts. I enjoy stories told in the first person and this was more than enjoyable.
🤗Keep writing, Riverflows!
Thanks, I purposefully chose first person asN experiment this time and it was fun to write.
😊I’m glad you had fun writing with it.
