Beautiful work! Case in point to the author's noted interest in gender essentialism, I assumed throughout I was reading a woman author, since the character's perspective felt so realized. Thanks for publishing/sharing.

I was going to say the same thing! Such strong character work.

Very cool to see you’ve been shaped by Octavia Butler. The balancing of the thoughtful themes and the horror reminded me of her work.

So interesting. Were there multiple stories/men with Plangnan being the agent of vengeance in them all?

Would have enjoyed this more if someone had edited it for grammar and spelling

Gripping story made more so by the dramatic reader and beautiful art!
