My god, I was gripped from start to finish - you’ve a fantastic knack for theatricality yourself! You painted such a beautiful, vivid picture, I could practically smell the gas in the lamps. Amazing writing!

Wow. I absolutely LOVED this story!! I was enraptured from start to finish!! The setting, the characters, the haunting, and that ending?? The prose is so wonderfully beautiful as well!! It reminded me a bit of a story I wrote recently in terms of the setting with a haunting show. I will most definitely be reading from you!! Really, great job!!🖤

The old and new light blending is so vivid. Harmony is tricky, no?

Yes, Harmony and balance is tricky. I pictured the two different lights blending, complementing each other, for now, until the new eventually takes over.
