A Place to Stay (Part 2)
The second part of the tale of an unlikely bond between a soldier and a family, based in a worldbuild of mine. There is a lot more nuance to my worldbuild, but I decided to simplify its context in this story to make it more easily accessible. I have been writing as a hobby for a little less than two years now. I've mostly only received feedback from a few friends, and after taking their words to heart, I think it's time for me to start receiving feedback from more readers. I would be greatly thankful of any feedback you give. I am especially interested in receiving feedback over my writing style. Thank you!
