This is great! So much fun, and I feel like I learned so much about the world and the characters without ever feeling like I was reading exposition. Sorry that this won't work in your final piece, but I'm glad that it exists and didn't end up on the cutting room floor completely!!

I’m so thrilled that you liked it! ☺️ I’m going back and forth on whether to use it or not, but I’m glad I posted it either way. Reading the comments I’ve gotten is making my day, truly. ❤️

The tension in this was incredible! I couldn't stop reading! I know you said you don't plan to use this as the actual prologue, but maybe it could become a companion short story or something?

I was so happy to get this comment when I woke up this morning! I'm going to be smiling about it for a while. 🥰

I'm going back and forth on whether I use this as the prologue or not. 😂 There's basically two ways I could take this: I could write it as a serial, OR I could write it as a series of novellas. I'm not sure which approach I like more. If I write it as a serial, then I should probably not use it as the prologue, but I'm leaning towards novellas.

So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe I'll end up using it after all! If not, then I'll probably do your idea and keep it as a companion short. 🥰
