What a captivating story! At first, I thought Agnes and Matthew were on some mystical journey in the dense forest. The way you build the tension made me curious. As it turns out, it was all about cute Bailey who preferred the company of the elderly Mr Shalamaz to Agnes' home.
I agree animals are more sensitive and connect easily with people. I don't know if I could be as courageous as Agnes to give up my pet. But I love that she did and Mr Shalamaz won't be alone anymore. I believe this drives home the point that no man is an island. We need connection and companionship sometimes. Thought-provoking and beautifully written!
It's quite an effort you made with your fractal. Very creative. I love it! Happy Sunday. !PIMP 🙂
