I also wanted to practice an exercise in empathy, a reminder that we don’t truly know the hardships of another. I hope that comes through.🩶

Huge thanks to Teague Bohlen for pulling this flash piece from your slush, and for your insightful edits that helped unearth exactly what the story was trying to say.

Thanks, also, to @kathyfish.bsky.social. It will be a surprise to no one that this hatched in one of your brilliant workshops.🪹🪺🩶
