The message I get is that it doesn't matter where you come form or how you got to be there but,rather it's where you end up and the journey that's the thing. Good work.

There is so much here that it feels like a prologue or initial chapter of a longer manuscript.<BR/><BR/>Of all the many intriguing things here, this sequence "Their pity for the small baby was often superficial, while their eyes scanned her looking for the invisible traces of shit, metaphorical or otherwise. Diphiri watched and stepped away. There was no need to let them closer, neither she nor they wanted it, and that kept her safe." Seems to just beg to be expanded - there is so much here, the concepts around psychological safety, judgment, prejudice, and compassion are vast and draw me to explore these things more through the eyes of this character.<BR/><BR/>For whatever it is worth, if you expand it, I'd vote for ending this segment, with "...instead his hooded eyes sparkled. “People are not saved for nothing." Feels more open, makes me want to turn the page and read more.<BR/><BR/>I really like this - thanks for the great read!

From such inauspicious beginnings good things can grow. I liked how Diphiri was almost nonchalant about her start in life and I adored the quirkiness of people always checking her for poo. This could quite easily have been a sad story, but instead, it is one of hope!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
