In a quiet institution, Dr. Grace Kessler makes a dangerous request: “Let them talk to each other.”
It’s not protocol. It’s not safe.But neither is silence.
Grace isn’t here to manage symptoms.She’s here to see the forgotten.To remind them they’re still human.
Even if no one else believes they are.

What if the monster under the bed wasn’t imaginary, just unnoticed?
In a world where monsters thrive on emotional pain, she’s just discovered the most dangerous truth of all:
It was real.
And it didn’t know she knew.
The Feeling of Shadows now live!

The doors don’t work. Not anymore.
He slips through the gap sideways, one hand on the crowbar, the other brushing glass off his jacket sleeve. Trying to be silent. Somewhere above, a loose panel clatters in the wind.
The rest is still.

What’s a small detail you love seeing in stories?
A quiet moment. A repeated phrase. A meaningful scar.
Not plot-moving, just human.
Writers: do you include them?
Readers: do you notice them?

What’s a single moment that made you fall in love with storytelling?
Not the first book you read.
The first time you felt the spark, the “I want to do this” moment.
I’ll share mine in the replies. What’s yours?

Writers of Bluesky, what part of the writing process makes you feel most like a storyteller?
The outlining? The late-night drafting? The weird moment you solve a plot hole in the shower?
Tell me your favorite part. I want to hear what lights you up.

What’s a storytelling skill you’re proud of developing?
Maybe it’s something you used to struggle with. Maybe it came naturally.
Mine? Dialogue that feels real, so it doesn't feel forced, still working on it.
Your turn. Let’s hype our strengths.

Let’s settle this, Bluesky:
Do you plan your stories in detail, or discover them as you write?
Outliners, pantsers, chaos gremlins, what’s your method?
(I start with a concept and then characters I create do their thing. Usually.)

Let’s talk story vibes.
What’s your favorite kind of emotional tone to read or write?
Slow dread? Hope rising in darkness? Quiet devastation?
For me, it’s when characters break and still choose to fight.

What’s a trope you didn’t love at first… but saw done so well it changed your mind?
For me, “Enemies to lovers” didn’t click, but it actually fits as a trope in one of my stories and I have changed my mind.

Before you crash, what’s the story, book, or character you think about right before sleep?
Mine changes all the time, but it’s always the one with unfinished business.

Let’s start some chaos.
Writers—what’s a “bad” writing habit you refuse to give up?
I’ll go first: I write completely out of order and trust Future Me to figure it out later.

but you’re still ridiculously proud of?
