What a beautiful boy. A pilot. A drinker. A sky king. The Poetic. Death.

Aren’t we all. Creatures of Fate. There is nothing we can do now. Except win the final battle.

This is clever. I really enjoyed reading it and kinda flinched at the end. I still like it though. Thank you Ellis.

Thank you!

The flinch is the point. This time, UFiction is a mirror showing how pain untreated becomes power abused.

You are so right. I have recently seen how an upbringing of absolutely no consequences has turned out ….sobering. Often a hard and uncompromising upbringing makes steel, sometimes…not.

Yeah, that's how he became what he is - it was inevitable - if he had had a stronger passion for humanity he might have past off the curse - and didn't have to then end like his brother who was also not passionate enough - to be strong. It's in your genes as much as in your life-journey. Neither was your fault.

Well written, piercing. True to life? Darned if I know. But could well be.

HVR told me I would enjoy your writing... and wow, he was right! Chilling! What happens when abandonment learns how to speak in absolutes. Absolutely gripping. Subbed so that I don't miss out 🔥🖤

@Hawtorn V. Rabot is the goat of Substack connections.

And I have corrected my stupid mistake of not being subscribed to you. I've seen your name on my feed many times, and I have no excuses, dear lady.

My sincere apologies. And thank you.

We missed each other in the wind... it happens... he mentioned you today, and I said okay I'll go read him... and I can say I will definitely be reading more 🖤🔥
