It seems an age since I urged you to submit something for that contest. Glad these finally see the light of day, and in a sense, are saved from being half-forgotten or deleted. A few more words than your usual micro-stories, and several short of your intersections — I feel you've crafted these just right!
These are yours as much as mine. The link you sent was the beginning of this. I sometimes think the best thing a fellow writer can do for another is simply point at something and say you should try this. You did that, and three pocket universes took birth. Thank you for that and for noticing that the form found its own right size somewhere between micro and essay.
I have chills. These are beautiful! I love the three different enactments of memory and memorialisation. What a beautiful subversive theme to link what I’m sure were three individually challenging pieces!
Thank you, Shubha. "Memory and memorialisation". You've named it more precisely than I did in my own intro! The subconscious is a better editor sometimes. The three pieces were indeed written independently, so discovering the connective tissue only after was its own small revelation. Really glad these landed.
Lovely read. The Digital Ghost is waiting to be expanded on imo.
Thank you, Binu! And you're right - David has more to say, I think.
