I found the other comments interesting, especially around the confusion over the end. Maybe I just read too much into your words but to me, there were 3 distinct characters in this piece. Jany, her father, and the person inside the cottage. Grant was just a passing mention to me so I didn't count him haha. I felt like you clearly placed her father outside the cottage as a vision or in spirit form (since he is deceased) and then the person at the very end I saw as being the person who was inside the cottage (he does say that he was in the burning hallway inside), rescued when she broke the window causing a backdraft, the explosive force of which brought the building down but miraculously left the person inside, unscathed. I loved the introspective self, portrayed on the rocks and the beach, and the switch into necessary action to meet the challenge of the fire. I think you handled the pace of each half of the story well. !ALIVE !LUV

I knew that you’d be the only one to actually get it, THANK YOU! Haha, I read all the comments with much interest, too. But that’s fiction, the reader is part of the journey as well, and they must takeaway what they “see”??

Exactly, once the writer releases their baby to their audience, it no longer belongs to them alone and everyone must get from their reading what they need/feel/understand. This is just how I read it so I found it interesting how others had interpreted it !LUV
