I loved these pieces! The language, the situations, the characters. Masterful.
• From "Inheritance," what their father's will does is so clever and symbolic and memorable. Near the end, where you said "making further use of his wings," a less determined writer would have said "flied away," and I loved that you took the longer route.
• From "Heat-seekers," I just love that "the man finally rattles his voice." The perfect word for a cramped, ominous situation.
• And "Horsebroken" is just magnificent. So many connections in the story bring each word to new life, again and again.
Thank you for these pieces and congratulations for the well-deserved nominations.
So Heat-Seekers is full of dread, so masterfully done, Meg. But Housebroken is heart-breaking. Well-deserved nom for that one, for sure.
Thank you so much
