That's amazing, thank you! I was hoping the worldbuilding would be effective here. Going for as much of a "show don't tell" approach as possible within a short story like this.
oh goodness the tears have sprung loose from their captivity! this is so good, i love the nature of the disease, how it attacks language and communication, and how those afflicted are called Hushed.
also love that the narrator’s first spoken words are calling some robots “assholes” 💀
i cannot wait to see what the next two installments are like!
Haha, I never thought about the fact that those were his first words. 😂
I did a ton of research on how to make the disease realistic. I even consulted a real doctor on BlueSky who provides input on medicine in fiction, so I’m really glad you’re also enjoying that aspect of it.
Thanks Victoria! Chapters four and five will be out later this week. In chapter five (the finale) I'm also including a choose your own adventure element, so there will be 4 possible endings.
Love the world building on this one. Very tense as well. Great chapter!
