OK. Kill me now! I loved the author's succinct and pithy style. We all aspire to something different but all life dishes out is more of the same unless you are prepared to go out on a limb and get it for yourself. Excellent observation of the reality of life for the majority of people.

A great summing up of the year like this as its so true to life

Blimey! How the year goes so quickly when it is written like that. The author has expressed a vibrant, quick and quirky lifestyle, that is true to most of us. But, like he said— it’s all for the kids! The cogs keep turning, nothing changes and around we go again. So true.

A true depiction of Capitalism, methinks! And control by the big corporations.

Cynicism at it's best! It comes with age and all those joyful children (the ones we do it for) will join us in just a few more turns of the wheel.

Hello! I just finished reading your story and wow, it was really amazing. The world you built is so cinematic, I could practically see the visuals in my mind. I’m a professional artist/illustrator, and I take commissions on comics, webtoons, manga and manhwa. I’d love the chance to bring some of those scenes to life visually. If it’s something you’d like to explore, I’d be excited to discuss it with you. No pressure at all, but I just think it could be amazing. Feel free to add me on Discord (eve_verse), if you’d like to discuss more or take a look at my work. Regards, Evelyn
