Now this IS clever writing! May I say you've outdone yourself? Because for me, you absolutely did. The blend of historical fiction and science fiction was so well executed. It wasn’t just engaging, it was captivating—totally worked for a short read, and I even learned something along the way! Tell me, where did you guys buy your minds? Because 💰💰💰

Haha, thank you so much! This one required a lot of research, but I've always been fascinated with the story of the Titanic, so I took this prompt as an opportunity to finally write a piece about it in my style.

Your comment here made my night, haha, thank you again for such wonderful feedback!

I'm glad I did, because you truly deserve it, Bradley, given the amount of work you've put into this. I mean every word of it. And thank you for your dedication to the work.

This feels like a scene in a film, vivid, urgent and emotionally charged. Great stuff.

This is absolute pure genius! As soon as I saw the butterfly I knew it would be something so fun. Then the title! But where you really got me was the name haha! I was hooked from the art and title all the way to the very last word! So very well done!

Thank you, Kaaos! When I got the idea, I almost convinced myself not to do it. I was afraid of the research, afraid that I wouldn't do the concept justice, and afraid that I would, but it wouldn't be quite as good as it could be.

I took the plunge anyway and fully committed to the idea. I'm glad I did, I'm quite proud of the finished piece.

The fact that we can't edit comments is infuriating for me at times because I need to read the comments to remember ever facet of what I'm responding to.

You should be epically proud of yourself and your absolutely genius creation! So happy for you!

Never talk yourself out of an idea. Always at least try to write it out. If it doesn't come out as expected. Try again, if you still don't like it. One more try. This is my process. It usually works. When it doesn't I scrap the idea and come back to it later. Or never haha. Just don't be afraid to explore. That is the greatest gift we have as writers. Our literary exploration! Never give up, never surrender! Bonus points if you know what that means! Haha.

Haha, thank you Maryellen! I really enjoyed this one. I was obsessed with the Titanic as a kid, so it was cool to do some research and build the piece around that. Canva came in handy as always with my little experimental article I wrote at the end! Appreciate you checking it out!

See @T.P. Kaaos, this is what I was talking about being endlessly collective of details in info. I get like this too! I have files of maybe one day stories.

This was my favorite ever @Bradley Ramsey ❣

Thanks Aedan! I’ve been doing Flash Fiction February in the subscriber chat and my personal goal is to keep coming up with interesting new concepts and structures with each daily prompt.

So glad you enjoyed it!
