This is such an interesting piece, Karla. Very packed, but leaving out some intriguing details that make me question this narrator and their "eternal" construction site. It actually reminds me of my ex-boyfriend from Canada, who also grew up in a construction site as his father wanted to build the whole thing by himself. Even after he'd moved out to go to university in Montreal, the house was still not finished!
Interesting! Those dynamics in home spaces can be so complex. I had fun writing this as the original prompt was to try to pack a whole life into a flash fiction size piece. I enjoy those types of 'exercises', playing with one or two parameters as your focus. I have a ways to go yet, but playing with time is fun.
I love it!! A really powerful piece of micro-fiction. Congratualtions... keep it coming
Couldn't do it without you!
