It’s captivating to be inside someone’s mind like this. The sensory details really pulled me in.

Great work. I loved the part about comparing bubbles to little colonies/cities. The imagery is beautiful almost like a silent movie scene trying to make you feel things - nostalgia.

Thank you for sharing this!

Will's avatar

thanks! that’s really cool to hear, because I imagine Theo to be kinda overly indulgent with nostalgia, so that makes sense :)

Unsettled's avatar

You’ve done an amazing job communicating the sentiment then! Cheers, well done 🤍

this is such cool writing! i could paint the whole picture, each scene, because of your vivid visual description. I had fun reading this🤍

Will's avatar

Thank you Shaivya, I’m grateful for the very kind feedback :)

It was interesting how the mind in this piece moved between small and large things.

Bubbles, stars, childhood memories...

Like Theo was searching for meaning somewhere between them.

Will's avatar

Thanks Dan! Yes, that’s perhaps one of the consequences of Theo’s somewhat ‘meaningless’ (at least he thinks it’s meaningless) existence.

Dan Ackers's avatar

I wouldn’t call it meaningless, but I’m not the one deciding that.

Will's avatar

Oh neither would I, but maybe he doesn’t see it that way!
