That’s a super deep piece, Daniel. I can see how the trip was an inspiration on so many levels.

Meg, it was so challenging the trip there. You have no idea. Wiping the dust off of my old things and taking some. See him so different and frail now. My mom was the glue that kept our family together, now, like sticks in the wind my family. 😢

I can seriously feel the tension in this piece, Daniel. You’re building this beautifully. My recommendations are to look at other options for the word, ‘snow’. It becomes redundant. Also, Chloe might refer to the men in the shadows as ‘bad boys’, but Gwen and the narrator may want a more specific term – something more specific or sophisticated and relevant to the circumstances.
Your writing is compelling

Meg, thank you as always. Good thing it is only a freewrite and I’ll be putting it together as a more tuned first draft. I see this turning into a novella.
