Space is not empty; it is full of possible interactions.
I want the reader to feel something is astonishing. Not the 'what happens,' but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do this best, for me.
I think of other ages that floated upon the stream of life and love and death and are forgotten,and I feel the freedom of passing away.
I've probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.
