RE: The Celestial Lens | Part 1, The Corridor of Lumina | Short Fiction
Very flowery prose but not obscure, instead rooted in images.
At first I thought they were celestial taking literal ages to take each step. I thought they were eternal beings outside time.
Then they're just women? On a planet?
Some of the earlier description is too confusing about how slow they are moving. The images make it seem as if each step really is that slow. Even used a moon turning phases between each one. Then later saying it it a certain type of moon while they're walking.
Kept me rapt and curious. Excellence in descriptions. Impressed.
Thank you.
Your notes are really welcome, the ambiguity that you pick up is rather suitable, I think more will be explained as I post the next few parts. For now, though, I did want to keep it subtle and ambiguous... I think, for now, a bit of confusion is good. I was trying to keep it rooted in the senses, so I'm glad you found it full of imagery (though curiously, no direct description of sight at all, I wonder why... ;P)
I haven't posted anything in a full two months now, let alone been on Steemit. I was down a deep well of depression, slowly pulling myself up now by the fingernails, so I'm glad that the first interaction I've received is from you, a hero of work-ethic. I hope you're doing well :)
