Hi Castalia,

I do think this is like an episode in a short film, what's impressed me most is that it's neat & tidy, grammatically (past tense consistently). Intend to read everything here.

Is this still possible to grant me a free pass to your Substack? Current student in creative writing. Thanks.

8 of these bound together will make an truth in advertising sweet and sour cautionary tales. Shiit put a disnick character on the cover nothing too racy not servicing the wolf stealing his stupid watch chain. I wanted this Caution to act out for me why it is seen in polite company excessuve to be an epicure. But he is instead motivated by half formed ideas. For instance that his long time date would clearly have gone in for a semblanc2 of a participatory party. Why anyone would want to undergo a trial by combat i donot know, it just is one drunken theatrical possibility. Teasing and pleasing. I like it. I will tell you from my investigations one dark day why people cringe at a drunk. Likely in the moment failing to recognize an excitable child like their adhd selves. No idea i am collecting scrapbooks.

Hi Castalia,

Read through this story, it's a firm grip with past tense, which is a rare gem in this type of genre because of its consistency. Can I ask you 2 questions here?

Is this common (because I'm from another world - Asia) for a U. graduate to take up skiing coach that sort of occupation? If so, is this supposed to be a part-time for Carl? In the story, Carl was asking a clear cut-up with Mariana, as the former was soon graduating, is this usual for people to be so explicit? (I'm thinking people may just let this slowly die off). What do you think?
