Tug of War

By Jessiibear on Fri, 23 Apr 2021

Our rope strains. Snaps in half. A table toppled. A dealt deck, confetti. An 80s record wrecked; a silent song. Your brain is a towel, wringing out...

I really enjoyed this. The voice is sharp, with tight imagery and strong sensory detail. Tension throughout. You’ve layered history, fear, pride, and loyalty so well—it all lands with impact. Another one for the books!

Posted on Fri, 23 May 2025

This was such a vivid, beautiful read—equal parts funny, raw, and moving. The flowers, the coal, the pianos… it’s wild how much memory can live in what others leave behind. Thank you for sharing this.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go...

U Certificate

Posted on Thu, 22 May 2025

That paragraph about the U certificate really made me pause. I think I get what you’re saying—that if a child is forced into something so brutal, something that strips them of safety and innocence, then calling it “adult content” feels like a...

That really means a lot, jolono! 

You’ve given me encouragement since I was much younger, and reading this honestly feels like a kind of full-circle moment haha. Thank you for that, and for taking the time to read and respond so generously...

Thank you so much for sharing that, Jenny. That cold, long night you described — I felt it in your words.

It means a lot to know the fear in this piece resonated with your experience. What you shared is such a haunting memory — a glimpse...

This was such a delightful and honest read! I really appreciated the way you walked us through the different types of addictions—from the obvious ones like smoking and drinking to the more subtle, personal ones like shopping.

The way you...

Posted on Wed, 21 May 2025

This was so vivid—I could practically smell the fire and feel the dust rising between moves. I love the sensory detail, especially the contrast between the communal meal and the formality of “sausage and mash.” That last line especially hit—so...

Posted on Tue, 20 May 2025

Thank you—your comment is beautifully written and deeply appreciated.
