Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. This might be apart of a larger story depending on response and other factors. There is a reference to one of my other short stories in there so that's one connected dot.

If you don't mind, can you tell me what pattern you noticed?

@Traveler , death seems to.play a theme in your pieces - at least the ones I've read - but it's not a bad thing! I like the angst and i liked how thought provoking this piece was. That whole "what is the meaning of life?" Kinda question just to have someone tell you "nothing at all"
Plus I got FMA vibes when the blank was first introduced. 


Still, well done as usual 👍
