Absolutely chilling. I could almost see it all unfolding... You have a heartrending gift.

Wow mark TY so much for that comment! - 'The boy and the girl in the box' was on Medium first, but they never promoted or shared it with anyone but my followers - they really seem to hate fiction! Unless it's all fantasy stuff or happy endings :-/

Oh, that dreadful and desperately lonesome feeling! I've known it. It came across so well through your writing that it became a main character in the story. At least to me. This piece won't leave me too soon. Heart-wrenching and excellent.

Poor Ellie, that's no life for a girl her age. That last line gave me the shivers. Powerful story, May! 💜

"They’re getting into makeup and clothes. Whereas I’m just trying to survive." - that made me tear up.

What a beautiful story. It played with my emotions like an orchestra - in the best way.
