Thank you for such a cool piece. By coincidence, I have recently written a passage for a future moment in my story The Tarnished Gloriole (here on Substack, for free, in weekly instalments…please have a look at it and if you like it, which I hope you will, please subscribe and continue to read it) which has similarities in a way to feelings around the exercise you set out here.
