I loved the futuristic tone of this story and the details are incredible. Three chin hairs on a pre-menopausal woman. (!!!)

I was gone for a minute but now I’m back and instantly obsessed with your stories and the way you weave words. I loved this story and the protagonist who I read as hurt, processing, unhinged and chaotic. How did you even think to create this world?! 😭😭

Welcome back! Well it all started at 1am this morning when I was watching an episode of Smallville and thinking about the truth and a future where people only thought in terms of truths but how even that would be twisted and then it just wrote itself (with a little research on looms and weaving )
