I love the way you framed the story…the font being the tie to the prompt. Brilliant. And the letter gives us some hints but leaves us wondering. Wonderfully done, sir.
Poor Harold, though.
Ugly deed, beautiful note.
Life is ironic, how there can be great beauty from great guilt.
Oh, that line was just crap. But it just poured forth.
Well done and great presentation. I’m with the others wondering what Harold did all of those years ago. I mean, ’24 was a pretty crazy year and, all, but…
Very interesting and different take on the prompt. The period language felt exactly right. People had different standards then, and social approval/condemnation was much more rigid – you manage to imply that in your story. Like everybody else, I’m keen to know what Harold did.
Blimey, all sorts of questions. What has Harold been up to?!
