Chapter 3: The Fifth Stage
One of my dearest friends contributed to this collection of short stories, and I must say that, while I am a bit biased, her writing is as beautifully descriptive as it is filled with heartfelt intent. The story serves as a profound metaphor for grief and the depths of depression, as well as the discovery of strength through leaning on others when in need of support. I absolutely loved it.
Though brief, it was a treacherous journey that moved me deeply; I cried three times (!!) and would gladly experience it again. The imagery is stunning, with some gorgeous portrayals of an alien planet. While it feels heavily like a piece of self-reflection, given my personal connection to the author, there is nothing in this story that isn't relatable to the reader or to someone the reader may know. Bravo, my love—this was a masterpiece. I can't wait to see what else you write for the world.
