Great! I enjoyed it very much and took the time to subscribe to your substack. I'll be coming back for more. (On another note, the inclusion of the music lyrics on your text has unblocked me to also write something for Unquiet World. I've been going around for a couple of days with no idea of what to write. Listening to Bach and reading your story did it). Have a great day. Congrats!

Thank you, Pedro. Just entertaining people makes me smile, but getting a sub from it is such a boost! Really appreciate it. I’m looking forward to reading your story soon!

This was haunting in a beautiful way. I love how you juxtaposed mundane interactions with the weight of loss. Also, I feel nostalgic for the radio. As a Gen Z, I don't think I ever experienced really talking to someone on radio channels. Well done.

Thank you, Genie! I’m so happy all of that came through. I suppose I’m a Millennial, or maybe even a Xennial, and I caught some of the midnight radio shows. I miss those live, quasi-podcasts.

Great flash!

This was really beautiful. I love the reversal of the prompt so we get to hear how the ghosts experience things. Gorgeous.

Thank you, Judith! I really appreciate your kind words. I wanted it to feel a little bittersweet, these ghosts may have feelings too...

Loved the interplay with the songs. Will have to check out the whole project!

Thank you, Brody! I like weaving in pop culture and music in my stories for worldbuilding. I did it to varying degrees in 'Tech Support Discontinued', 'Microdoses of Imagination', and 'The Hangover Hammer'. Have a look if you like that stuff.
