Artura's perspective felt as if she knew her life was full of questions and instability, yet it was her life and, like the carousel she rode, came to an end, leaving her with questions but not as melancholic.
It really captured the instability of the household well. So much packed in a short story.
I really enjoyed reading this piece. You built up Artura’s world so eloquently for it all to come crashing down at the end in the best way possible. Thanks for sharing.
This feels like a story about memory and instability....how when the people anchoring your world are unreliable, reality itself starts to feel uncertain. What stayed with me most is that the only thing she trusts is something fleeting and disorienting, the carousel. There’s something powerful in that… choosing even a fragile truth over complete emptiness. Because when everything else disappears, even something unstable can feel like something to hold onto. And sometimes that’s enough to keep moving. Really amazing story! Thank yo for sharing!
